Getting ready to start a new career path or advance in your current career? What sets you and your resume apart from the stack of resumes that employers are looking at when they are getting ready to fill a position? Many employers consider the inter office dynamics of bringing in someone new, but to give yourself an edge above the others, several employers are looking at the volunteerism of candidates as a factor to show a strong work ethic and social responsibility. Many of the school organizations are already involved in community projects like Big Brothers/Big Sisters or community cleanup projects. It's not glamorous work, but it is very rewarding and may offer an extra set of skills that could put you ahead of the competition for that next job. If you want to find out more about the local volunteer opportunities, check with some of the school organizations in your field of studies or check www.volunteermatch.org, there's plenty of opportunities out there!
