Greetings!
Hello from United Way!
We're happy to present our first event of 2008 - a lunch with CEO Tom Austerman. Check out the details below.
Also, I've seen some interesting articles about including volunteer work on your resume. I've included some excerpts and links below. Does anyone have a great story of how their volunteer work helped with a career opportunity? If so, let me know and I'll share with the group.
Sincerely,
Sara McGuyer

economic possibilities for local individuals and families. For some tax filers,
returns can be as high as $4,700 if credits such as the Earned Income Tax Credit
(EITC) apply. more >

Volunteer Work on Your Resume
"Be unapologetic about giving
space on your resume to volunteering.
Since the whole goal of a resume is
to get an interview, think how more interesting your face-to-face conversation will be when you add all
those community activities to show who you really are." from Charity Guide, more >
"When possible, the resume
should be targeted to a specific position
or employer. For example, when applying for a job as a manager, a Girl Scout
leader could cite her volunteer experience in motivating girls as
evidence of her
ability to supervise and lead." from Energize, inc., more >
"Volunteer
work, whether in addition to a current job or an activity in between jobs,
shows an employer that you are willing to try new experiences, be involved in
your
community and generally demonstrates a willingness to take initiative and make
things happen." from Monster, more >
