Many times during periods of unemployment, recruiters and potential employers are concerned with gaps in employment. I typically get asked - what have you been doing during your time off? While I have been volunteering with wonderful organizations, such as GET Global Energy Transition, attending various conferences like OTC, networking, completing continuing education, such as my recent Stanford certificate, and the full time job of searching for the right opportunity, I decided to go outside of my normal and dedicate more time to volunteering at my children's school! Door decorating was a task I loathed but surprisingly now enjoy. #newbeginnings #volunteering #gapsinemployment #intransition #networking #talent #jobsearch

Unemployed? Underemployed? Wondering how you can upskill to qualify for that job you want? I have a suggestion: It may be a great time for you to actively volunteer for a cause that matters to you. Perhaps you’re asking “Why should I?”  “I don’t have time for that,” or even “What’s in it for me?” Questions worth answering in my view, so here you go: 🔺Volunteering can give you a valuable perspective on your own situation. 🔺Volunteering can be a great way to build new skills, or take on responsibilities you would not otherwise be given. For example, you could help with publicity, public relations, social media, bookkeeping, or program development, building skills that will help you advance your career. Volunteer work doesn’t just look good on a resume, it tells people you’ll get involved and you want to make a difference. 🔺Volunteering can give you access to people who can help your career. Look at the list of boards of directors for the major charities in your area. These are often influential people at the height of their profession. Working beside them on a project or a program can be a great learning experience and help you build a valuable network. 🔺Volunteering is a wonderful social outlet and a great way to meet people with whom you share common interests. 🔺Volunteering is good for you. According to the Mayo Clinic, there is a significant connection between volunteering and good health. Their research shows that volunteers have greater longevity, higher functional ability, lower rates of depression and less incidence of heart disease. Look around your community. Who needs help? What skills do you have that could serve others while you’re looking for work? How can you improve your world and the world of those around you? Consider volunteering - you and your community will be better off for it. #OpenToWork #OpenToVolunteer # #FeelingStuck #CareerTransition #CareerCoach #VolunteeringIsTheNewNetworking #JobHunting #TGIF #FriYay
