“Volunteer” might sound to you like “work for free”, but volunteering is a great opportunity to gain experience that you can add to your resume and often times it quickly opens the door to paid work experiences. The last two jobs I’ve gotten have been a result of doing volunteer work. I can almost guarantee you’ll meet lots of great people along the way and might even feel pretty good about yourself when helping others.
I'll keep you posted as things are sent my way, however you can always seek out opportunities on your own!
On to the opportunities….
