Should You Be Seeking Volunteering Opportunities?

Hello Supply Chain Career Job Seekers,

Happy Friday!

A few of you have asked me about volunteering opportunities, here are some resources and reasons why you should be volunteering if you’re in the job market.

Volunteering can be an excellent way to expand your supply chain network & organizations where you can find them!

Here's how volunteering can help if you’re a Supply Chain Professional:

➝ Meeting Like-Minded Individuals: Connect with people who share similar interests and values, potentially including other supply chain professionals. These connections can lead to valuable relationships and career opportunities.

➝ Low-Pressure Environment: These settings typically offer a friendly, relaxed atmosphere that's conducive to genuine conversations and networking without the awkwardness of formal networking events.

➝ Build Your Skills: Gain hands-on experience that allows you to develop new skills and sharpen existing ones. In supply chain roles, you can gain practical experience in areas like logistics, inventory management, procurement, and more. This real-world application of skills is highly valued by employers and can make you more competitive in the job market.

➝ Experience to add on to your Resume: Adding in volunteer work on your resume can make you stand out to potential employers. In fact, 82% of hiring managers view resumes with volunteer experience more favorably.
