Build up a CV that shows enthusiasm for the voluntary sector - especially with paid work for charities, you must be able to show to everyone (including yourself) why you want the job, though the vocational nature of the sector means that you'll normally have an idea of where your passions lie. In many respects, charities and NGOs are the easiest fields to break into, though long-term paid work may be quite competitive and relatively scarce. For this reason, the more in tune you are with the charity sector, and the greater the number of contacts you have, the greater the chance of getting paid work in your chosen area.
