Can't Find A Job In Media? Volunteer Your Time For A Cause

Just because you’re unemployed or underemployed doesn’t mean you can’t make a difference in the world. And, even if in the long run it won’t pay your bills, doing something that gives back to the community can have infinite rewards.

As our sister site MediaJobsDaily said, when recounting the story of super volunteer and go-getter Laura van Straaten, it’s amazing that “somebody was able to make this thing basically by sheer force of will.”

That “thing” was a CPR training course in New York City, which the underemployed van Straaten developed pro bono along with the Mayor’s office, the Fire Department and New York Sports Clubs.
