## Resource

It's volunteers week! (https://volunteersweek.org/) Volunteering is a great way to build new skills, grow your confidence, and develop qualities employers really look for. It also gives you something meaningful to talk about in interviews - plus, it can be genuinely rewarding along the way. This week, Amelia shares her journey with volunteering - from getting involved at university with her students’ union and societies to where she is today. She shares where to find volunteering opportunities, how to showcase your experience on your CV and LinkedIn, and what volunteering really looks like in terms of time commitment.
