If so, what was it for? Do you continue to do so? Why did you choose it? I’ve volunteered at animal rescues. Was a few years ago before we got our newest dog. It was to get our “fix” as we called it before I was able to commit to having another furbaby. We haven’t volunteered since.

I volunteered for many things when I was a member of our local Kinsman Club and then did volunteer work in the school library once my children started school. Which started me on the road to my career.

No not really, I was always too busy looking after my grandparents and helping my family out with their own stuff. Sadly, most companies didn't consider that volunteering back when I was madly job hunting, which it should since I was still using my time for things other than myself.

I have enjoyed and still volunteer but just at the Hospice now. My sister was in hospice care in America and I wanted to give something back to help others.
When I lived in England I volunteered at the Dove Centre: It offered a range of community services to support women, men, young people and children who are in situations of domestic violence and helps to rebuild their lives after domestic abuse.

Does work experience count lol? I wasn't paid for that but we had to 2 weeks of it through my school.
Other than that, I have never volunteered. Just don't have the time for it, to be honest.

That's called internship, at least here in the states, and is worth a lot on a resume and other recommendation lists. I never got one either due to time constraints, but wish I did as it would have helped a lot in my job hunts.

We have internships as well, it's what I have right now actually. Got it through my University. I think the difference is that work experience is usually unpaid and done when you're younger.

Yes, I used to volunteer for this dog rescue to help feed, clean their cages and whatever else was needed.
