There maybe a problem with the type of roles that you are applying for or how you complete applications forms, CVs and covering letters. Or it simply could be the competitive job market.
Career Coaching can help identify what the issue is and then help to give you your best chance of getting your career going with expert advice and guidance from someone with experience in the campaigning and charity sector.
If so, it could be a problem with your applications or the jobs you are going for. After 6 unsuccessful applications, you may wish to consider career coaching as an option to get your career going in the right direction as soon as possible.
Charities usually aim to interview between 4-7 candidates for a role, so there’s no evidence to suggest that there’s a problem should you have 1-3 interviews where you have not been appointed. However, once you’ve had 5 or more interviews without success, it could be that some advice, guidance and possibly including some mock interviews would make a real difference to gaining your next job.

The Right Ethos was set up after our founder, Jonathan Dearth, had worked in the campaigning sector for 13 years, for campaigning organisations including Amnesty International, Shelter, Liberty and the World Development Movement. It was set up as a response to multi-sector recruitment consultancies moving in on the charity sector, and in particular not recognising that people who work for campaigning organisations are motivated by justice and long term change.
