Summary:

Arthan, an organisation in the impact sector, held an inaugural session on job search in the impact space for women. The session covered topics such as a broad overview of the social sector, the scope of opportunities, and challenges experienced in the sector. The team conducted a survey before the session to understand job seekers' challenges and important aspects of the job search process. The survey found that job seekers face challenges in lack of awareness about opportunities in the social sector, tailoring applications to match job requirements, and identifying opportunities in their area of specialization. The key aspects of the job search process that affect everyone include networking strategy, personal brand and outreach, and navigating online jobs. The team suggested using LinkedIn as a tool for tackling these challenges and aspects of the job search process. The team also discussed the hiring process, from CV and cover letter to interview preparation and communicating salary expectations. The session ends with a Q&A session.
