Voluntary Work
Volunteering is “any activity that involves spending time, unpaid, doing something that aims to benefit the environment or someone other than, or in addition to, close relatives…volunteering must be a choice freely made by each individual. This can include formal activity as well as informal community participation.” If you do not find work immediately it is worth becoming a volunteer or enrolling on a personal development opportunity, as this will give you valuable work and life experience whilst you are looking for paid employment. You may get paid expenses, e.g. for travel to the venue. You can volunteer in lots of various activities/professions. Google Volunteering and then your town or city and you will see sites that will help and put you into contact with people you can speak too.
