9.  As long as the volunteering work is relevant to the role or industry you want to work in, 85% of employers believe that it's just as credible as paid work.

Being a volunteer isn’t just about giving. You can get a lot back in return from being involved in different organisations and volunteering can often put you ahead of the pack when it comes to job hunting since you could use your volunteering supervisor as a refferee for a job interview.  All you need to do is volunteer a few hours a week in order for you to build good connections with people, and your volunteering can benefit the community and leave you glowing at the fact you’ve done something good. Your volunteer experience also paints a much clearer picture of your personality and core values. Volunteer research revealed that being motivated, socially responsible, and proactive were the top three personality traits associated with Australians who volunteered. These are also traits employers in any industry are likely to value highly.
