Charity Work Experience

A few years ago, our contributor, Laura Montagne was an unemployed English Literature graduate looking for a break into administration or clerical work.

Finding a job was quite difficult, as she was not very confident and didn’t have much practical experience in an office environment.

She was given the opportunity to do work experience for the charity Age Concern, in their office in Christchurch, Dorset.

The job was voluntary; Laura did not get paid but it was a very valuable experience.
