CharityJob | Preeya’s Story - Why Preeya Switched from Corporate PR To Charity PR

Preeya happily transferred her skills in corporate PR to a more rewarding job in the charity sector.
Preeya now works for a charity full time and finds her job much more hands-on and stimulating, as well as being hugely rewarding. She is able to get involved at all levels, from liaising with press to discussing strategy with management. This is something that is really rare in bigger organisations.
‘I love that I’m doing something I’m skilled in, for a great cause.’
Preeya says that some people assume working for a charity is a sideways, less ambitious step. But for her this is by no means the case - there are plenty of opportunities for progression and development. She is just as ambitious as she had been working in the private sector but finds her work is much more rewarding on a daily basis.
Making the switch from the private sector to the charity sector can be easier and more rewarding than you think. If you are unhappy at work, or you’re looking for more purpose to what you do every day, why don’t you see whether you can transfer your skills too. Preeya would definitely recommend it.
