MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
 Volunteering, at home or abroad, gives you the chance to vote every day about the kind of community and world you want to live in. It gives you the opportunity to be apart of something bigger than yourself and use your civic responsibility for the greater good.

If you’re a history buff or a naturalist, you can explore opportunities to work at fascinating historical sites maintained by the National Park Service. If you’re in New York, look into the Roosevelt-Vanderbilt National Historical Site, or consider Alcatraz Island, which is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in California. It would be a permanent talking point to break out at parties, and might open the door to further opportunities.
Local LibrariesWhen I was a teenager, I volunteered at my local library for a few hours a week for a school project. I liked it so much that I ended up volunteering every week and developed a life-long love of books, as well as an appreciation for learning and reading. Libraries typically need help organizing shelves and assisting patrons, and you may also be of help setting up and running public events, such as author signings and book fairs. Ask your local library if you can help design flyers or copyedit ads, and put that experience on your resume.

1. Be confident in your own abilities and your approach

Common perception suggests senior positions at big firms are only open to candidates fulfilling certain criteria. Threadgold disproves that theory, but recognises that a glass ceiling still exists. "People can get hung up on qualifications," he says. "In some organisations, you wouldn't get through the door unless you've got a degree."
