I have <a href="http://lawschooltransplant.com/ringing-in-the-year-of-the-water-dragon/" rel="nofollow">learned how to say "no" much better over the last year or so</a> and it has helped me tremendously. I'm busy, yes, but I'll make time for the things that are important. Less so for the things that are not helping me to meet my personal and professional goals.

I also think organizations that need volunteers can help themselves by creating some smaller roles, some opportunities for folks who don't feel like they can commit for a year at a time. The trick is balance the work that needs to be done without having too many volunteers to manage."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1125304584971704184.post-59968189228387246192011-04-06T17:04:45.448-04:002011-04-06T17:04:45.448-04:00And you practice what you preach because you held ...And you practice what you preach because you held steady with your volunteer jobs even with a brand new baby and full-time career.

Current leaders can utilize the right volunteer position to give back to the community while they build their networks.Amy Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07466891635361145863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1125304584971704184.post-32276929172184346332010-11-04T13:30:41.923-04:002010-11-04T13:30:41.923-04:00@andimariep - I ask the volunteers in my organizat...@andimariep - I ask the volunteers in my organization to list their significant volunteer roles just like they do their professional experience. So, you would literally include it in the current and/or past experience section. This also allows people to make an online recommendation for your volunteer service - adding credentials to your personal brand!Strategic Volunteering Gurunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1125304584971704184.post-21007641411907428612010-08-05T11:45:09.433-04:002010-08-05T11:45:09.433-04:00Thanks for this - but how would you suggest that w...Thanks for this - but how would you suggest that we list volunteer work on LinkedIn? They really have no place for it - and since I do volunteer work with various organizations, I think it may be confusing if I break up my career history with my volunteer work.
