Nonprofit Career Round-Up: 9/16/2011

The new issue of The NonProfit Times was just released today, and it contained an article job seekers might find interesting.  It looks into the criteria that nonprofit recruiters are looking for when they look to hire new employees.  Specifically, the article looks at the executive search process.  It seems recruiters like to see their potential executives have at least 2 to 3 years of experience, among other qualifications.  They also like to see their involvement on social media, particularly with LinkedIn.  It's a very interesting read, so check it out when you have the chance.  After you do that, you can take a look at today's top nonprofit jobs:
