The end of the year isn’t a dead zone for your job search, it’s an opening. And if you use it strategically, it can actually give you an edge. This week’s newsletter breaks down how to make the most of both the holiday slowdown, the year-end sprint, and everything in between. 

Your career path doesn’t have to be linear to be compelling. Layoffs are happening at record levels this year, and the most important thing you can do is own your experience with confidence. This week’s newsletter is all about helping you do just that (and not just for layoffs, but for any type of career gap).

With so many factors outside your control, it helps to focus on what IS in your control — like your resume. In this week's Get Hired Newsletter, we dig into what actually makes a resume stand out to recruiters, especially in the progressive and nonprofit world.

There are still great opportunities out there, and that’s what today’s newsletter is all about. Each quarter, we share mission-driven job openings from across our network — this round includes 80+ roles worth checking out.

I asked recruiters, hiring managers, and other experts to share their best, most honest advice for jobseekers right now — the kind of stuff that doesn’t always make it into a LinkedIn post.

References aren’t just a job search formality; they’re a reflection of your community of colleagues, supervisors, and direct reports. Here’s your guide to stellar references.

We hear it all the time: networking feels awkward, time-consuming, or even pointless. But when it works, it really works. Here are a few stories from anonymous jobseekers who landed interviews, opportunities, and new roles thanks to networking.

Getting into the C-suite isn’t always about having every qualification. It’s about putting yourself where chances are possible, telling a strong story, and showing you can lead. Here’s your guide to breaking into the C-suite.

Candidates always ask me for the inside scoop on the job market. So, what am I seeing? Things are starting to move. Orgs are reaching out about fall searches, JDs are coming to my inbox, and teams are gearing up for more interviews. So, now is the perfect time to sharpen your interview prep.

Job searching during the summer is tough. But here’s the thing: the slow season is actually a powerful time to build momentum and get yourself in position for what’s next. Here's how to lay the groundwork for a job search that thrives, even in the summer.

The job search is no vacation. If anything, it can feel like being stranded on a deserted island.

But at NRG, we want your job search to feel less like survival and more like a supported expedition. In this week's Get Hired, we built a Job Search Survival Guide to help you pack the right tools (and ditch the dead weight).

Every quarter we spotlight open roles from orgs in our broader network. We’re proud to share 60+ roles from orgs working across different regions, movements, and issue areas. It’s a tough moment in the field, but meaningful work is still out there. We hope this roundup helps you find it.

Recruiters can be incredible allies, but the most effective relationships are two-sided. They’re built on mutual connection, trust, and shared values. Here’s a step-by-step guide to building those meaningful connections from the ground up, and how NRG loves to work with jobseekers.

“I’m having trouble getting my foot in the door; I'm applying to multiple jobs a week and not hearing back.” As someone on the search, your job is to tell your network about your successes and build trust. How do you do that?

One thing I hear over and over is that people get hung up on the “walk me through your resume” part of the interview. This is the first question that an interviewer asks so it offers a chance to make a strong first impression.

I know that a job search can be a lot. On top of the time, energy, and brain space it takes up, you also have to put yourself out there and think about how you present yourself in online spaces. My colleague, Brenna Reagan, leads NRG’s marketing team. They know a lot about this topic and stay on top of trends in this space.

I have seen an influx of people looking for jobs right now. I know it’s tough out there and I want to help you throughout all steps of your job search, from beginning to end. 

In celebration of our 100th email, I asked the recruiter who has been working with me the longest to share some insights that I know you want to hear. Kristen gives us four tips after running over 1000 interviews.

With all of the chaos in the world and many people looking for a new role for the first time in a while, I thought I’d talk about starting your search and how to set yourself up for success.

Every few months, I choose to highlight other jobs out there with organizations doing good work even if NRG isn’t running the search. That’s what we are doing today.
