Professional Portfolio

When your un/underemployed, finding a new job can be all consuming. The last thing you're thinking about is giving up precious job-seeking hours to volunteer at the Boys Club or be a Brownie Club Leader. But these activities actually boost your professional portfolio. When a company fouces on quality hiring, well rounded candidates are a must. Leadership, communication, team work, and motivating others are just a few of the attributes that can be displayed and developed while volunteering. Don't forget to document those experiences in your free onine portfolio at CareerScribe.com.
Community work is also a great way to network. Some of the most powerful people in an industry will roll up their sleeves and coach kids or mentor students on the weekends. So take the focus off yourself for awhile, and reap the many rewards of volunteering.
