Careers: Volunteer Your Way to a New Job

Volunteer Your Way to a New Job
Get qualified in new skills and upgrade your career

With Catherine Jewell, The Career Passion® Coach

Many trainers “fell into” the role because their company needed someone to organize information, create training, and deliver it to co-workers. In the same way, there are dozens of professional skills that could make you more attractive as a job candidate. Are you working on a certification? Does a specific software intrigue you? Have you considered bringing that new skill or tool to your current job? Join us for real-life success stories, and to brainstorm how volunteering can upgrade your career profile.

In this session, we will cover:

•       Case studies of volunteer efforts that paid off in salaried jobs
•        Brainstorming ideas for tools and skills you could apply in a volunteer role
•        How to highlight volunteer efforts on your resume
