working exprience advice needed?

Question

i am thinking of doing a voluntary work in the UK, so that i can have a working experience in management field in other to help my CV / future job employments. can anyone tell me what to do and how to go about it? I am new to all this... I live outside the UK. thank you.

I would like to work in any industry, the most important thing i want to have is the working experience..... does any one have any directory of companies that offers possible working experience for students? any information would be greatly appreciated.

many thanks.

Answer 1

I think it is admirable to want to do volunteer work. I am not sure why you would want to do it in the UK instead of your home country. In any case, it is doubtful whether you could initially land a management position without having experience in volunteer work. You could start out volunteering and work your way up. Any volunteer work would certainly look good on your resume. But, I think what you learn volunteering is much more important than a few lines on a resume.

Answer 2

You sound as though you want to volunteer at a managerial level. This is not likely to be available; most work experience/internships are at lower trainee levels.

anyway, what field do you want to work in? 'Management' isn't really a field in itself - it's just a level you work at. Pick an industry. You could try sending your CV to relevant companies and finding out if they ever have work experience opportunities.
