It is a thought that usually comes up when you are just back from vacation. You work through the unanswered e-mails and think: what do I actually do it all for? You are not the only one in that.

For many people with a good office job, it starts to gnaw at a certain moment - remarkably often around their 35th year of life. They have a decent career, get their bonus nicely at the end of the year, but want more in life than sales figures and the launch of a new product. They would like to give something back to society. For the Job consultancy in Queensland this is one very important move.

Suppose you also want to make the switch, what do you have to take into account?

1. Not every good cause is suitable for everyone

Anyone who applies for a job generally does not have to be much pickier than someone who applies to a charity or an NGO. After all, in the business world it does not matter whether you are doing the finances for a coffee brand or for an ICT service provider.

2. The money is mainly for charity (and only a little bit for you)

Bonuses, an IPhone of the case, a hefty salary: everything you take for granted in business, you have to hand in as soon as you start working at a non-profit organization. The salary is indeed a bump for some people. We do not get financial incentives or other extras. That is why it is extra important that someone chooses very consciously for an organization. The goal must be so personal to your heart, that you also want to work hard without any bonus. Incidentally, it appears that more and more people do this: we get an incredible amount of reactions to vacancies.

3. Competition is good, but do not lose sight of the team

"It is a misconception that they would not be competitive at charitable organizations," says HannekeVerburg. "Our employees are also settled on targets. We are only happy when someone uses their sales qualities to help our organization. For example, we only hired someone with a commercial background to work for us as a relationship manager. She is used to generating as much revenue as possible for the organization; she was accounted for in her previous role. With the same institution she now receives registrations for us. The difference with many commercial organizations is that we do not have the competition with us. She also helps her colleague, who may have received fewer registrations. Ultimately, as a team we want to bring in as much as possible for charity. "
