the organization you volunteer for, understand collaborations between them and

possibly get new ideas especially when you key into their personnel exchange
programmes. You can get to know unfamiliar places, meet fresh faces, and learn a

foreign language or recipe. These experiences add to the quality of your resume, help you
scale the ‘work experience’ hurdle and make you a better candidate for a paid job than

someone who never worked or volunteered.

Volunteers’ jobs are often advertised on job board websites, social media, or the hiring

organization's website. Although the vacant positions are always few, they are not as
strict and competitive as paid employment vacancies. International Non-governmental

Organizations as well as local Non-governmental organizations are always in need of
volunteers. Be on the lookout, it may be your chance and only way to get into the payroll

of those organizations that pay in hard currencies. Why should you miss out?

Reflection

“There is hardly any space for rookies in experience hire employment
because their level of training and competence are inadequate for such
roles; it can be counterproductive”

Poser
Do you have the relevant job experience? How can you get it?
