Today’s job market is different than it was even a few years ago. The rules have changed, and job seekers are forced to navigate an unfamiliar, often confusing terrain. Net Impact's career resources will empower your members to take control of their job searches, engage them in skill-building activities, and expose them to undiscovered opportunities.

Leverage your leadership experience
- On LinkedIn: You can include your leadership role on your LinkedIn profile, and use key words like founder and leader in your title. However, please be sure you do notselect Net Impact global as your organization (this lists you as staff, which is inaccurate). Also be sure to participate in Net Impact's LinkedIn group.
- On your resume: Note key accomplishments you achieved during your leadership term (e.g. developed on-campus partnership that brought 25 employers to campus each year, facilitated a workshop to help other professionals gain negotiation skills, etc)
