VOLUNTEERING


Experience
For those just starting out, volunteering or interning is the best way to gain experience and build their skill base. For those already established, it is a way to give something back to their community, pass on skills to the next generation of professionals, or rediscover what they first loved about the industry.
Perspective
In the creative industries, ideas and perspective are two of your most valuable tools. The better you are at connecting with people and understanding where they are coming from, the better you can connect them with the products or services they need.
Benefits
There are so many organisations or people who can benefit from your time. Why not lecture at a local school or college on your specialist subject, help promote a charity working in an area close to your heart, offer to organise fundraising events for your church group, or raise the profile of a neighbourhood business you think others would love?

Even if your appreciation goes unnoticed it still mat...

Networking tips that will boost your career!

People are always saying 'use your connections', but how do you do this without seeming desperate or bothersome? Here’s some sound advice to get you started. Tell them your story People always remember a good story, share details of your background, give insight and funny anecdotes about who you are and your experiences. When you make people smile or empathise they are more likely to remember you and leave a lasting impression. Next time you meet they’ll recall the guy with that funny story rather than the one who spoke only about what kind of job he wanted. Be clear, to the point and very specific Don’t be vague, don’t try and keep your options open by not being clear about what you want. So when someone with connections asks what you’re looking for – be ready with a confident answer “ I am looking for a Senior Finance role within the oil and gas industry”.
