Welcome to the The Social Change Career HelpING Line
Unless you have lots of money to pay a personalized coach, where do you go to answer your specific questions about your socially-inspired career?
PCDN proudly announces something never done before. It’s a Career HelpING Line for professionals in the social change space.
The Social Change Career HelpING Line is the place where professionals in social change meet and together answer one another’s questions to leverage your careers of purpose.
Think of the questions about love, marriage and family that people use to send to magazines. Remember, “Dear so and so, I love this person…”
The Social Change Career HelpING Line is a 21st century version of that. Only, the topics are not love but professional advancement in social change and the community will help each other.
But there is more….
We want you to benefit from the community and also get the best advice available. To this end, PCDN has gathered The Career Advisory Panel. An incredible group of worldwide top experts in recruitment; higher education; development; impact investment; international peace and advocacy; media; human rights. No joke. We have over 40 professionals who are already on board to answer a selected number of questions from the group.

What type of talent does X organization look for in hiring?
