Volunteering provides a useful way to:
* Test a career
field to see if you like it and learn what training may
be needed. * Explore new interests. * Get documented work
experience for your resume. * Develop skills needed for a new career
direction. * Make contacts. * Get your foot in the
door.
For employed military spouses who are highly mobile, volunteering
may at times, be:
* The only way to work in your career
field. * Best way to obtain work experience and keep skills updated
in your chosen profession. * A better career building step than
working in a paying job outside your field.
