Product Description
Today many of us feel trapped in our jobs, afraid we won't advance, and bored by the routine. Volunteering provides us with an invigorating way to stand out in an ever more competitive environment by reaching out and helping others. Meaningful volunteer work not only enriches our own souls-it is also one of the best ways to advance in a career. John Raynolds blends his own vast experiences in both the professional and the volunteer worlds with the experiences of dozens of men and women across the country-from Fortune 500 CEO's to entry-level employees-to illustrate how inspiration in careers and in lives can be renewed by service to others. He shows how volunteerism can help you: * Learn how to take career risks * Pick up new skills * Meet important contacts * Expand your industry profile * Develop an entirely new perspective on your goals By reaching out to your community, your church, the environment, the arts-or anyplace else that needs your assistance-you'll find that you always get back more that you put in.
