Getting your foot in the door with work experience!

Are you a graduate keen to kick-start your career? Or perhaps you are a student with little work experience? Are you worried that your lack of experience will make it harder for you to get a job? EBR thinks volunteer experience could be your window of opportunity.

While volunteering is not paid, the skills you gain from the experience could lead you to paid employment. Skills developed through volunteer work do not go unnoticed on your CV. These can include communication, leadership, problem solving, and health and safety, all of which are essential to any form of employment.

Volunteer work is open to all applicants, whether you’re passionate about social work or just looking to gain some of those skills to help you get a paid position in future. Opportunities can range from administration to campaign work to community events.

If you’re dedicated to getting your dream job, volunteer work is the way to go! Click here to check out some of Seek’s volunteer opportunities available in Australia.
