Speak
to your Personal Advisor at the Job Centre and ask to be referred to
the CSV
Volunteering programme. “The
important
thing is that I’ve been put in a position of responsibility. Being
trusted at
face value is important. The biggest barrier for getting into financial
services
is trust so having the opportunity to do it and for someone
else to vouch
for the fact that I’m doing it well is important, as when I’m
applying
for work, this communicates itself to potential future
employers. This
was my whole objective – to show that I can do it” (Matt,
Bristol) “Volunteering
allowed me to work on domestic appliances, giving me good
“real-life” knowledge of what was required of electrician’s work in
this
area. It also gave me good communication skills to work in a
team to
solve a particular problem as an electrician. The work itself
gives a
good “hands-on” and practical knowledge of inspection and testing,
fault
finding and correction, and the approval and signing off
of finished
work. The skills I’ve learnt are of great value for
employability as an
electrician. (Simon,
South
Gloucestershire) “It gives me
something positive to do with my time. It’s given me a routine, focus,
and I
get to meet some great people’ (Stephen,
Severn
Beach) “I initially
sought a voluntary position in order to keep my skills current and to
be of
benefit to a charitable organisation. Being back in a working
environment
increased my confidence that had been somewhat depleted due to
redundancy and a
long period of unemployment. When I was offered a permanent job I was
in the
unique position of being able to wholeheartedly accept, having worked
alongside
my future colleagues. Without undertaking voluntary work, I would not
have
secured a job I absolutely love.” (Lisa,
Clevedon) “The
last 2
years have been so traumatic it’s helped me draw a line with my past
and helped
me to move on by giving me a new focus and confidence….it’s
sorted my
life out really…I feel so much better - it has allowed me to
think that I
have a future again and a fresh start ahead.” (Helen,
Bristol)  |
