Fantastic Volunteer Opportunity (Glasgow)

Anybody serious about seeking employment who have been unsuccessful or unemployed for any length of time understands that gaps on employment are hard to explain.

I recently had to leave this Volunteer opportunity (The Forgotten Island) and feel quite bad about doing so. The staff are just top notch (you won't find a better bunch), what you do is very rewarding. It is working with kids mostly, but the engaging adults and quality staff just make it so rewarding.


I'm sure anytime you can give - even just an afternoon would be appreciated. I just feel so bad having to leave :(

- Whilst the deadline has passed I am aware they are seeking more people to help out. If you say I (Peter) recommended you it'll get a better reception. Either give them a call or send an email to [EMAIL="info@curiousgiant.org"]info@curiousgiant.org[/EMAIL] with the details required for the application (found at the bottom of the above link).

*Sending an email with details is what they require even if you phone.

I wish there did exist a 'Review your Volunteer Work' website but im afraid there is not. But I can not recommend this opportunity enough. I have been volunteering since it opened and I've never had so much fun :D

Disclaimer: I'm not indorsed nor funded for referalls in anyway. I just feel really bad for leaving and feel someone here could benefit the same way I had with such an experience.
