This is a space for job seekers in and around the nonprofit communications, tech and fundraising space to get ideas, inspiration, guidance and support.

​​Claire Waiksnoris of Job Search With Confidence
Having faced her own job search struggles, Claire knows the weight of uncertainty and the need for support. Claire’s approach is centered on confidence, emotional intelligence, and understanding each person’s unique gifts. She believes that success lies in recognizing one’s strengths, and she’s dedicated to helping clients harness these qualities to reach their career goals with authenticity and purpose.

​​Matt Lockshin is a progressive recruiter and coach. Matt provides job search coaching and recruiting services. Whether it's helping coach someone through salary negotiations, helping someone maintain between boundaries at work or helping organizations run better, more equitable hiring processes, Matt's sweet spot is working with progressive organizations and social change professionals on issues where big emotions and/or fundamental values intersect with decision-making.
