Ideas for those seeking development jobs in Northern California 

Thank you for your interest in non-profit executive positions. Please understand that we are hired by organizations to fill specific jobs and that we are not a placement service or employment agency. As a result, we cannot provide you with individual attention or career advice. However, we have provided some general advice below, and we hope you will find this helpful.

If a specific position is of interest, please send your resume and cover letter to the e-mail address listed for that position in the Job Openings section of our web site. If you do not wish to be considered for a position that is currently open, but would like to be considered for future openings, feel free to send your resume to us at resumes@pamelacook.com. If a position opens in the future for which you seem particularly qualified, we suggest that you apply for that position at that time as well.

We have written several articles that may assist you in your search:
