Is volunteering a good way to start a career?

kenny9678 asked:


I’m moving to a new city and have yet to found a job. I was wondering if volunteering could possibly open up new career opportunities just from networking with people. I’m unsure of what I want to do for a career and want to try and maximize the possibility of finding a new job that I’m going to enjoy. Thanks!

    Absolutely! In addition to supporting whatever cause you choose to volunteer for, you will be able to add the volunteer work on your work history, you can get references from the organization, and you can also gain new contacts that you can use to find a paid position. As well, most companies prefer to hire someone that is currently ‘working,’ even as a volunteer, as if shows that they have initiative.
