⭐️ I might not have years of experience, but I have work experience ⭐️ It's no secret that many hiring managers prioritize candidates with 5+ years of experience, but here's something worth considering: the depth of the skills and knowledge isn't just above time. I've gained invaluable experience through volunteering, assisting, coordinating, mentorship and collaborating with talented professionals on projects. In these hands-on opportunities, I have developed the same critical skills, insights, and work ethics that others took years to achieve. I may not have been in the industry for five years, but I've learned just as much in a shorter span. 🌟 It's not just about the years -- it's about the dedication, adaptability and real world application of skills. #jobsearch #eventindustry #hospitalityindustrt #torontoevents #torontojobs #eventprofessional #eventplanner #eventcoordinator #hireme

🌟 Volunteer Roles: More Than Just Giving Back? 🌟 This year I took on a new role outside of my day-to-day job: Race Director for a local Tunnel to Towers Foundation 5K Run/Walk. (Check them out, it’s the BEST organization - especially today to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice 23 years ago)  Although my professional life is centered around partnerships and business development, taking on the Race Director role has allowed me to step into a new leadership capacity. This experience has not only strengthened my existing skills but has also provided opportunities to develop new ones—like project management, community engagement, and event coordination—that complement my career growth. But here’s the question: Should volunteer roles be included on a resume if they add value to your work persona? 💼 For example, I gained the following from my experience: 💡 Leadership in New Environments: Organizing teams, managing resources, and leading a large-scale event has challenged me to apply leadership skills in new ways. 🤝 Cross-Functional Collaboration: Coordinating with sponsors, volunteers, and local authorities has sharpened my ability to work across different groups, much like collaborating with cross-functional teams in a business setting. 🗣️ Communication & Negotiation: Managing partnerships and logistics for an event draws on communication and negotiation skills that are adjacent to my normal responsibilities. 📈 Project Management: From goal-setting to managing timelines, budgets, and event execution, this role has pushed me to enhance my project management capabilities. With all these new skills and responsibilities, I’m curious to know: Do you think volunteer roles like this should be included on a resume? Would hiring managers and recruiters value this experience?

Why do we ask about your interests in career meetings? If you’re interested in something, you already spend time and energy pursuing it just for sheer interest and enjoyment, but it could lead to other things*. Say you are interested in football or music. You could: ⚽️ Play it ✏️Write it or about it 💥 Use it as a channel for change (like Bob Marley and the Kick It Out charity) 🗣️ Commentate on it 📊 Predict trends 📕 Research it 🔂Theorise on it 👩🏫 Teach it 👟Train others in it 💈Promote it 🎗️Advocate for those who do it 🛍️ Sell it or sell stuff connected with it 🧪Assess people involved in it 🤝 Recruit new talent to it 💬 Interpret for people involved 🚛 Supply to the industry 🎨🎭 Capture it through art 💰Cost it out 🧭 Oversee its operation or creation 🏠 Host or house it 🫶 Volunteer in that area 😊 Or simply continue to enjoy it! The way you spend you time and energy matters, and interests can play a part. Interests can be fun as a standalone or they can extend into unpaid or paid roles. What are your interests and do they leak into other areas of your career? *And if it does, the best ideas on whether to and how to will come from you, but by asking we can help you consider what role interests might play.
