I came into the 'funding world' around 2 years ago with absolutely no experience. Now a couple of years down the line I have not really had any 'big wins' & beginning to feel very demotivated & disillusioned! I'm not even sure if I am any good at this type of work as nothing to measure it against, this is made even more difficult working within the constraints of a housing association (particularly due to our accounts and income).
Does anyone else work within a housing association? Can they inspire me?
Also, I always felt that I would benefit from an experienced mentor (I have gone on courses but feel I have reached my limit with them). I am not sure where to go from here, particularly as jobs at the salary I require in the funding world always ask for substantial success so kinda caught between a rock & hard place & don't want to go back to previous career.
If any experienced fundraisers would be open to mentor an enthusiastic, open-minded, willing student :-) (either online or in the Birmingham area) then I'd be very grateful. Or any other advice, guidance etc I know lots of the theory but going wrong somewhere!!!
THANK YOU
