Working for a charity can be one of the most rewarding jobs you can have. There are many charities around so you can always find something related to a subject matter you have a passion about. For some people, they want to make a difference with young people and children where as others may feel drawn towards animal welfare. Whatever interests you, the rewards are often much the same. Many charity jobs are actually reasonably well paid although you may be required to do a certain amount of voluntary work prior to applying for a paid job. If you are looking for job satisfaction, then you should definitely consider charity work. You can also pick up some great skills that can easily be transferred between jobs, helping you towards your future career.
If you have recently qualified at university or college then you may find it useful to do six months plus of charity work to gain experience.
