Looking to transition from fundraising to corporate or institutional giving.

I am having a hard time transitioning from the nonprofit sector to the grantmaking sector. I feel like my skills are transferable so I'd love any advice for making a similar switch. I've interviewed for 3 great roles at 3 great companies but did not get feedback when I was rejected and have nothing in the queue now so I am feeling down. TIA!

Have you tried reaching back out to the recruiters/hiring managers for feedback? It can help if you ask them something specific - eg what skill sets can I develop to make me a stronger candidate for a similar role in future? This will help you to identify skill sets to both develop as well as to highlight in future interviews. Best of luck to you.
