VOICES OF VOLUNTEERS FROM BULGARIA

I have been a volunteer for more than 2 years and during this time I had the chance to get in touch with different spheres of society and to develop skills that are successfully applicable in many professional areas.

After graduating from university I started looking for a job. It took me quite a time so I decided to do volunteer work. I had the chance to communicate with different people, to meet with psychologists and other professionals who trained and supported me. During these 2 years I participated in various trainings. I developed my social skills which had a direct impact on improving my performance at job interviews.

Currently I work at the Human Resources Department of a large company and I believe that knowledge and skills that I got from volunteering could be successfully applied in company policy. Good practices that I learned as a volunteer are great base for improving every corporate responsibility policy and social activities.
