About the event

You’ve done the hard work and got the volunteering hours – now make it count!

This interactive workshop will help you turn your volunteering, course rep, sport and society roles into strong, memorable examples you can use with future employers and on applications. Together we’ll identify what you have gained from your experiences, explore how to describe your impact (not just your duties), and practise short “experience stories” you can use in emails, application forms and interviews. You’ll leave with tips and tricks, , a better understanding of your strengths, and increased confidence in talking about what you bring to any volunteering or professional opportunity.
