One of the best ways to build up your CV when you are at university is to volunteer for charities or complete work experience. It is extremely difficult to build up a CV of relevant experience without doing some unpaid work. The best time to start thinking about work experience is in the first year of university, this is the time when all of the societies and sports clubs will be starting to recruit new members. By joining as soon as you can you will be able to see the society’s development and you could even become involved in the running of the activities. There are so many skills that you can gain by being involved in charity or voluntary work. Skills which will help you get a job in the future. Plus getting involved with a charitable organisation or an organisation is not difficult. Many charities are happy to have young people involved in their organisations as they bring new ideas to the table and provide a fresh approach to the way that they operate. There are several different types of charity that you can get involved in depending on what you want to do when you finish your course. Veterinary students may find it helpful to volunteer at shelters and organisations like the RSPCA and the RSPB as it will show that you have been involved in the very basic levels of working with animals. Similarly, any role which involves looking after the health of animals or even in the farming industry will demonstrate your enthusiasm. Medical students should try to find out about the health initiatives in their area or even try to get a part-time job as an auxiliary nurse. By doing all of these things you will show future employers that you have an introduction to the areas of healthcare and that you understand the roles of every individual in the healthcare profession. Arts students should try to decide what they plan to do when they leave university. They have the most choice in terms of jobs and might find it useful to do a few different placements and get an idea of what type of industry they want to go into. Science students may have some idea of the kind of work they want to do, whether it is in a lab or working as a teacher. But they also have a lot of choice when it comes to job prospects so they may also find it useful to gain some experience and narrow down the future job prospects. In the end work experience and volunteering for a charity can help you to gain experience and figure out what you want to do when you are older. Click here to see all the options available to you.
