How To Volunteer The Right Way

Are you volunteering your way to a better career, or are you just busy? In today’s video, I’m putting on my "Teacher Heart" to talk about the power of volunteering. Many young people are doing it wrongly—spreading themselves too thin without a plan. I’m sharing my personal experiences from the University of Sussex and my NGO days to show you how to turn "free work" into a massive career advantage. If you’ve ever been told "don't work for exposure," this video is for you. We’re breaking down how to maximize your time, build a CV that HR won't ignore, and why volunteering for 24 organizations in one year is actually a RED FLAG. Topics covered include: • What volunteering is (and what it is not) • Why volunteering supports career development • How to choose aligned opportunities • Positioning volunteer roles on your CV • Common mistakes to avoid • Long-term vs short-term volunteering 🔗 CONNECT WITH ME: Instagram: instagram.com/theglobaltemi Twitter: x.com/theglobaltemi Email: [email protected] My Community: instagram.com/thegrowtribe ✨ SUBSCRIBE to join the community and level up your career and life wisdom! #Volunteering #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment #CareerAdvice
