Volunteering

Some of you may think that volunteering is a waste of you time, after-all why should you work and not get paid for it. WRONG! volunteering is a great way of getting useful and valuable experience in any career that you're interested in. There are lots of people out their who have applied for their dream job only to be told that they don't have enough experience. Becoming a volunteer could give you the experience that puts you ahead of the rest.

Perhaps you're not sure what you want to do in life, then why not try volunteering, it could help you to find the right career for you. It also doesn't have to be big commitment and you can always fit it in alongside your full-time job. There are lots of useful links on this page which will give you help and guidance around finding the right volunteer job for you, and we've also included a brochure about volunteer opportunities here at Portsmouth City Council, which includes the Art Service, Museums, Events, and Youth and Community Centres.

It was said recently that 90% of employees look at applicants volunteer work experience on CV's, so why not think about giving it a try and check out the links below.
