[quote=Anonymous]It’s about connections.  VPs are internal or external with prior experience / head hunted.

My spouse was going for a VP role at a name brand nonprofit.  The top person told my spouse (verbally) they got the job.  HR said they had to contact references.  Then crickets!  Found out later one of my spouses references/ former colleague ended up getting the job.   We found this out by googling not from the former colleague or from HR.

I was livid not because spouse didn’t get the job but how they ghosted/ treated my spouse. Within a year the former colleague who was in the role was out of the role.

The nonprofit had some bad press recently and the 9 figure grant they received imo they didn’t do much with anyway. Usually employees stay when they are happy and have good managers but people don’t seem to stay too long at that place.

Honestly, sometimes I think it’s the universe helping you out.

My spouse ended up doing a deep dive though seeing if there was a reference issue.  Once we found out a former colleague/ reference got the role it all made sense.  So also be careful who you use as references!   [/quote]
