Job seeker tip of the week

 

    

Tip of the week: Volunteer 

 

 

Taking advantage of volunteer opportunities is often ignored

by most job seekers. Although, the primary focus for anyone unemployed is to find a job, there are advantages to volunteering. You have an opportunity to skill build and network while the

non-profit agency/business has an extra pair of hands to fill a

need that otherwise may go lacking due to funding.

 

 Volunteering also allows you to stay connected with the

business community. You may get an opportunity to work

with hiring managers, board members and others who could recommend or offer a reference to a perspective employer or business owner. It's a win-win situation. Visit www.handsonsouthal.com to learn of volunteer opportunities in Mobile County or check with your local United Way Agency.
