What that means is that there are so many open options out there that job-seekers are able to find and begin work more aligned with their needs/wants. Now, there are many great organizations that really need talented people, but can’t afford to pay for those services. When you volunteer for organizations you not only gain experience, but you also make valuable connections. Find an organization that you’re passionate about, and that free or cheap work will be life-giving and career-boosting.
Non-profit organizations like churches, after school activities, humane societies, sports organizations, and even career-specific associations are great places to start when looking to use what you’ve learned in college.
Restarting, starting, or changing a career can be a frustrating and vicious cycle of needing relevant experience to get the job, but not getting the job to get the experience. This cycle doesn’t need to get in the way of your career goals. Looking creatively where your skills can be used, and being willing to work hard without immediate rewards will bridge that gap for you. You don’t need to make that embarkation alone, we’ll be there every step of the way to help you make the right connections to begin a fulfilling career.
