Volunteering - It Can Get You Hired (Chicago & Webinar)


With over 14 million individuals unemployed or underemployed in the United States, people across the country are becoming increasingly concerned about their future job opportunities. Understanding these concerns, Chicago Cares has created an interactive, professional development workshop that will increase an individual’s potential of getting hired well before the national average of 39.8 weeks.

At this workshop, you will learn:

  1. How to increase your visibility to job recruiters.
  2. How to quickly grow your job skills while going to school and/or looking for work.
  3. How to enhance your resume with volunteer experiences.
  4. The most effective way to include volunteer experiences on a resume.
  5. Why a targeted volunteer experience is beneficial for your future employer.
  6. Untapped resources that will provide you with an advantage as you enter the job market.
Presenter: Chris Chamblee, is the Coordinator of Volunteer and Leader Services at Chicago Cares, and has worked in the non-profit sector for over seven years. He has instructed hundreds of professionals, community members and students on a range of topics, from customer service best practices to building life skills.
