DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THE VALUE OF VOLUNTEER WORK IN YOUR RESUME
Employers like to see evidence of where a person has done more than complete their degree, and do a bit of part time work. It is worthwhile trying to show them that you have a broad base of workplace experiences. And the more experiences you have - the better able you are to make decisions about where you want to go - career wise.
This is why working as a Volunteer is so useful.
Voluntary work could be done locally, nationally or internationally. To check out what is available.
