Volunteering Can Help Your Job Search and Your Community

Challenger, Gray, & Christmas’ @Work blog talks about how one can stand out in an increasingly competitive job pool.

The article has a great point that volunteering not only helps out your community, but it keeps your skills fresh and allows you to build your resume in a way that’s consistent with your overall work history.  

For instance, if you’re a web developer, volunteer your talents to a non-profit and help them build a website.  Or if you a marketing professional, help out a local small business with their advertising needs.
