u oThe unemployment rate has been hovering around 10% in the United States for over a year now, and this is the worst unemployment we’ve seen in a few decades.  Young people are really feeling the effects of scarce job growth, because they have less experience, and it’s tough for them to convince employers to give them a chance when they don’t have the experience employers are looking for.  Many companies have cut back from hiring college graduates and less experienced staff, because they don’t have the extra money to lay on the line if those young, inexperienced workers don’t pan out.  But, that doesn’t mean that young people should give up or settle for jobs that they don’t want.  One great way to beef up your resume and look more attractive to employers is to volunteer.  Here are a few tips to help you utilize volunteering to improve the lives of others and your future career path.

Taking a yearly vacation has become almost a right of the American worker, so for these workers, it can be a difficult task to convince them that they should be volunteering on their vacation.

The most common objections to volunteering on vacation is that travelers do not want to give up their entire hard earned vacation time to volunteer activities or they cannot afford to pay to volunteer.  The Volunteer Travel Hub by RezHub.com has a solution for both: Bite-Sized Volunteer Opportunities.  With Bite-Sized volunteering, travelers are only committing a day or a portion of a day of their vacation to volunteer activities (unless they would like to commit more).  And, most of these opportunities do not require a financial commitment, just in terms of time.
