2013 Year End Review
2013 was an exciting year for Bmeaningful. We launched our website in August and have been highlighting jobs with a purpose and a paycheque ever since. Along the way we’ve met many inspiring people and have been working hard to share their insights with you on our blog. We’ve posted articles ranging from interviews with self-proclaimed Purple Sheep to job search tips on how to find your own job with purpose.
Our goal for 2014 is to become your destination for insider information on jobs with a purpose and a paycheque. We’re excited about the slate of interviews with industry insiders that we have lined up for 2014. We’ll be bringing you more behind the scenes tours of social enterprises and CSR departments. You’ll also find a revamped website that we hope will make it even easier for Purple Sheep to find their job with purpose. Stay tuned, lots to come in 2014!
Although we’re already looking ahead to next year, with 2013 coming to a close we wanted to take a moment and reflect on some of the most memorable insights from this past year. So here goes, our rundown of some memorable blog posts from 2013!

Pallota nicely articulates the business case for non-profits to seek out the professionals that have the skills and passion to help them achieve their goals.
