In our life, many people are always ready to help others and they ask for nothing in return. We call those people volunteers. But why do they do that? Volunteering is good for your resume (简历). Your experience of being a volunteer gives the interviewer (面试者)a clearer picture of who you are. According to a survey (调查), 20 percent of the interviewers in the US agreed that volunteer experience was an important reason for giving someone a job.
Being a volunteer sets a good example for others. By volunteering, you encourage others to make good changes. Serving food at a food bank and working with teenagers in an after-school activity are also great examples to make others love volunteering.
Meeting people who have similar interests and ideas becomes easy. The way someone chooses to spend his or her free time shows the person's values (价值观). Sharing the same values while helping others is a great way to make new friends. By volunteering, you will have more friends in a short time.
"Doing good" is important. Every day we may watch or hear sad news and stories. However, volunteering is a good way to make the world a better place. Even a plain thing can make a difference. If we all join together, those simple things can add up to a big change!
Volunteering is never difficult. There is always a group for you. To find the right group to join, you just need to use the Internet.
