Now let’s talk about doing well by doing good—many people who have ever been volunteers for the munity find their place in relative jobs or even make their way to be corporate(团体的)leaders.
Consider the case of Kimberly Mulcahy. Throughout her career, Mulcahy has actively volunteered in her munity, profession and industry. Though she put in long hours as Vice President at a Fortune 500 pany, she also found time to professional and munity organizations.
Then last year, the unexpected thing happened. The pany where she’d worked for more than 20 years was bought out and she was laid off.
On hearing the news, those who she served were quick not only to offer her support—but actual jobs! In the end, Mulcahy was hired by a PR agency—she used to work as a director of her industry association. And she brought with her several accounts based on relationships she had formed through volunteering.
Volunteering was a godsend(天赐之物)to Todd, who has been a mid-level manager at the same pany for many years. After he was out of work, he felt old and disappointed. But Todd knew he needed a change. Todd became involved in munity service. He joined his town’s volunteer fire department and was soon appointed to the finance mittee.
Sometimes volunteering helps you bring passion to your work, other times it can turn your life’s passion into your work. Cape Cod Baseball League President Judy Scarafile is a registered pharmacist(药剂师)whose love of the game led her to volunteered as league publicist(宣传员), secretary and deputy missioner woman to hold the top post.
Whether you are to enter the workforce, build your resume, or follow your passion, volunteering is good for the soul and the career.
