Work

In my opinion doing volunteer work is a great opportunity to get work experience and meet people in addition to having good feelings about work.

When a person needs to change career, a person can volunteer to get experience. For example, if I want to work in a library, I can volunteer there, so I will get all the experience to apply for a job there later.

The second opportunity is to meet people, such as neighbours and employers from different cultures, religions, and traditions. Also, we can meet people who have the same interests and make new friends.

The third opportunity is to have good feelings about work. For example, we feel happy and proud because we do good work for our community, especially for people who need assistance and are needy.

In conclusion, volunteering gives you a chance to get job experience, meet people, and feel good.
