If I want to volunteer somewhere, will it be a problem if I don't have much work experience?

Answer 1

no way, actually it's the opposite when it comes work, if u want to get a real job with pay, it might be a problem if u dont have VOLUNTEER EXERIENCE but now you should have no problem in going somewhere to volunteer, some organizations might have an application form just like a part-time job so u have to fill, hand in then u might get called for interview however only some organizations have these processes not all... good luck and just to conclude, no you don't necessarliy have to have work experience because a volunteer CAN LEAD to work experience or help u in getting an actual job experience in the future, hope this helped and this is from my own experience

Answer 2

No it should not be a problem, most places that use volunteers will put some other volunteer with you to show you the ropes. I have worked as a volunteer in a hospital and they were glad to get all the help that most volunteers would give.

Answer 3

Not at all! When I started volunteering I was only 13, so I had no work experience at all! They teach you everything you need to know to do the job you are volunteering to do.

Answer 4

In most cases when you volunteer, you don't necessarily need experience, it depends on where you are volunteering, and most places will give you at least basic training, if it is needed.
Volunteer at animal shelters, you don't need training or work experience to clean cages, feed animals, or walk them. Or you can volunteer as a baby holder in the hospital. Many hospitals need volunteers to hold babies that need to remain in the hospital after their mom's have been released. Some a crack addicted babies, for other babies there may be other issues as to why parents can't be there. Babies need human contact in order to thrive and in most Neo-Natal units there aren't enough nurses or time.

Answer 5

People are always looking for volunteers! Companies love hiring people who give of themselves to those less fortunate in whatever way. Also, you may pick up some new "work experience" while you are volunteering. No matter what, it will improve your life to help others.
Bless you and good luck!

Answer 7

No experience needed!

They will be happy to train you.

My wife volunteers at the hospital at least once a week, sometimes more. She told her friend how much she enjoyed it, so her friend signed up as a volunteer.

If you don't have much work experience, here's a way to get some. Go to it!!!!!!!!

Answer 8

No, almost all volunteer places have different jobs that can be done at that location. They usually try to match up what you have done in the past to help determine where they can best use you. For example, I used to be a customer service rep taking phone calls for a bank, so when I went to volunteer at the hospital, they placed me sort of like in a receptionist-style job (answering calls, pre-registering patients, etc.)

Answer 9

Depends on where you want to volunteer, maybe, but usually you dont have to have much experience. People will just be glad that you're volunteering.

Answer 10

Volunteering is where you get work experience from. It should depend on what you'll be doing, but most of they'll take the help they can get.
