The basic purpose of starting a non-profit organization is the fulfillment of mutual or public benefits other than profit making. If you thought individuals start a NGO in order to get away from income tax payment or hide their illegal assets, think again. Even though governments in many countries have exempted such enterprises from the payment of income tax, this form of business cannot be considered an alternative for other business types. In fact, most of the non-profit organizations work for the fulfillment of social and environmental concerns. The profit made by such organizations is not distributed among the owners. The main aim is to direct the profit towards serving the clients (consumers).
There is no doubt that the public sector goes beyond national and local governmental bodies. It also includes a wide range of other organizations like charities, police as well as educational bodies. Anyone looking for a socially responsible career can find tremendous opportunities in the public sector. There are several notions associated with NGO jobs. Many people feel that such organizations don’t offer any career progression. But people already working with NGOs are of view that such jobs are not only satisfying but several opportunities are also provided to gain valuable trainings. This aids in their career progression. The myth regarding less or no pay in non-profit organizations doesn’t hold a base either.
Non-profit
jobs can also be fun as they offer a wide scope for expression of ideas and creativity.
The work provided in NGO jobs keep varying as there is a lot of customer
interaction on a daily basis and new things keep coming up. Many NGO employees
are of view that more than fun the feeling of contributing to the society and
environment is the main attraction. According to them, working in non-profit
organizations can be a great way to build a strong career. There is no doubt that
NGOs across the world keep getting hundreds of job applications from candidates
who want to make the world a better place to live in. But more than good
intentions, technical skills and experience can also help anyone get a
promising job in the non-profit sector.
