Interesting book about the world of Non-Profits

If you have any interest in gaining employment in the world of non-profits, this is the book for you. I didn't realize what this book was about, but going into a book blind is sometimes the best way to approach a book. It makes the discovery process more fun.

Whether you're just starting out as a new college grad, or if you're tired of the corporate world, this book will help you understand if you have what it takes to make the transition into non-profits.

Non-profits are a tricky path to navigate, but using this book as a guide and map, you will be light years ahead of your competition, understanding terms unique to non-profits, and gaining an edge that could mean the difference between making the final cut for a position in the non-profit sector.

Narrator Stevie Puckett does a great job reading, keeping the pace upbeat and motivational, and has confidence that makes you believe the material being read.

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
