"The Idealist Guide to Nonprofit Careers for Sector Switchers" is a comprehensive resource for transitioning professionals pursuing new career options in the nonprofit sector. Meant for those who might call themselves a "mid-career transitioner," a "re-careerer," an "encore careerist," a "bridger," or a "sector switcher" this book provides readers with indispensable advice, relevant strategies, and nonprofit-specific resources to strengthen their job search.

Meg Busse has been the High School and College Coordinator for Idealist.org since early 2007. Along with creating resources like The Idealist Guide to Nonprofit Careers, she works with career professionals and guidance counselors to connect students with opportunities in the nonprofit sector. She also presents at conferences across the country on a variety of nonprofit-related topics. Before joining the Idealist team, Meg earned her B.A. in English from Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, PA and went on to work as an educator and coach in independent schools on the East and West Coasts. She has been an active participant in the nonprofit sector for as long as she can remember. Meg currently lives in Portland, OR, and she serves on the board of directors for the nonprofit environmental arts magazine The Bear Deluxe, writes curricula for educational organizations, and continues to edit and write grants for several local and national nonprofits. These experiences have provided an incredibly deep appreciation for the vision, passion, and dedication of those who work in the nonprofit sector, as well as a firm belief in the potential for change that underlies it all.

Steven Joiner joined the Idealist.org Nonprofit Careers Team as the Mid-Career Transitions Coordinator in 2007. He develops resources for professionals interested in transitioning from for-profit and government careers into the nonprofit sector. He has a background in teaching both in the United States and abroad, in subjects including high school English, reading skills, intercultural business strategies, and special education. Steven has a B.A. in Secondary English Education from North Carolina State University and an M.A. in International Adult Educational Development from San Francisco State University. Steven has written on subjects including the ancient sport of Sumo, international travel, classical literature, and learning styles. A lifelong learner and a career professional who has dipped his toes in many sectors, Steven finds the nonprofit sector to be the best fit (by far).
