I build relationships with corporate and foundation partners to help more people find careers they'll love
I work from home which I love, and I travel a lot meeting with partners and prospects and attending conferences. Every day is different and I am always juggling a lot of balls. I research companies and foundations, find ways to connect with the right decision makers, figure out if / how we can work together, negotiate partner terms, and manage the relationships at a high level.
Here's the first step for everyone
Number one: hands down: Talk to people actively working in the job you want. If you can't get to those people yourself, find people who can help you get to them.
