Volunteering: Gain Marketable Jobs Skills Through Helping Others! by Amanda Armstrong
Do you want to make a career change but lack the job skills required? A great place to gain marketable jobs skills is through volunteering.

Learn alongside experts on the committee, enjoy the freedom to ask questions and take on new responsibilities. Not only are you helping yourself, you are also helping a local organization.
