Nonprofit Career Round-Up: Memorial Day Weekend Edition

Well it's hard to believe it, but Memorial Day weekend is coming up.  As a note, I will be starting the festivities tomorrow, so there will be no posts tomorrow; I will be back starting on Tuesday.  You should take the opportunity to take a short break from your job search during this holiday weekend.  That way, you will be rested and ready to go again starting on Tuesday.  So forgot about the job search and job boards this weekend, and enjoy the time with your family and friends.
