Work Experience Article Going Above and Beyond
It’s officially summer, why not make the most of it and upgrade your CV or personal statement with some work experience to develop your skillset and make you stand out from the rest? No matter what age, career, or skill level you have, giving yourself that extra boost is always worth it.
Our top tip is to look for the opportunities where you wouldn’t think of and ask around.
Reach out to the local harbour for a day finding out what it’s like to maintain the boats, or maybe your neighbour has an engineering contact who can get you to spend a day learning the ropes of the work they do. Whatever your passion is, Cornwall has a rich enough landscape that will tailor to it, you just have to reach out and grab it!
Volunteer
It’s never too late to start your journey to start Degree Courses and Apprenticeships in: Nursing, Teaching, Engineering, Digital and more... University Centre Truro & Penwith
Instead of a job or work experience this summer why not offer your services and support as a volunteer in a key industry you’re interested in? It’s an incredible way to learn new things and gain extra experience which is always attractive to employers in the future.
Show your willingness from the start by using the opportunities around.
Wanting to switch career paths but not sure where to start? Have a taster by volunteering in the sector you want to switch to and see if there are any skills you might need to turn this into a full/part-time role. Or, thinking of re-entering the workforce, but potentially out of practice? Work experience is a fantastic way to ease your transition back into the world of work and brush up on your skills.
