Volunteering

Friday, July 11, 2014

Today on Lets Get Working, I’d like to share some of my thoughts with you regarding volunteer work.

There are many places and organisations where you can choose to volunteer. The best place to search is Google. When volunteering, you can work with animals, children, indoors or outdoors, use your office skills or gain new skills.

The benefits of volunteering include:

Gaining new skills.

Having something to look forward to and structured during the week.

Getting to know different/more people.

The opportunity to hear about new job openings.

Volunteering is another great thing to add to your resume.

An opportunity to get a work reference.

When finding a place to volunteer, the organisation may treat the process like a job interview so be prepared to offer proof of identification, references and possibly a working with children check or a police check.

Don’t forget that it is still important to keep looking for work, even when you are volunteering, so make sure you leave enough time in your week, to keep doing that!

Until next time,
Enjoy the journey!
Martha!
