It’s not unusual to want to make a positive impact in the world, even in your career, but most people think that working in nonprofit is the only way to do so. Find Your Dream Job guest Erin Ewart says that’s not true. You can find a social impact job in government, philanthropy, and even in the corporate world. To get started, Erin suggests first deciding what type of impact you want to make and why. Once you’re clear on your values and direction, map out the companies and roles you’re interested in, and use your network to get your name in front of the right people.

Six candidates walk into an interview with the same qualifications. Who gets the job? The one the hiring team remembers.
