Why Volunteer During

Your Job Search?

It’s a Good Idea!

Volunteering:

• Gives you something to do while waiting for your next job.
• Expands your network!  You might wind up meeting someone who knows someone who gets you to a paying job.
• Helps you explore an interest or type of work you never knew existed – and find out you are really good at it.
• Re-energizes you when your job search energy gets low.  Doing something to help others changes the energy you project – and that shows in interviews.
• Gives you something to talk about in your interview that explains what you’ve been doing with your time.
• Makes you feel better about yourself. When you feel good about who you are and what you have to offer, you’ll project a positive attitude that connects with people.
