What volunteering experiences do employers rate?


Employers initially look for applicants who have had a volunteering experience relevant to the job they are applying for. For example, skills learnt surveying heathland plants in Surrey are going to be more pertinent for a job as a countryside ranger in the Dorset heathlands than experience surveying parrots in Australia, exotic and adventurous though it might be.
