Volunteer your way to your next job

Volunteer your way to your next job According to a LinkedIn article I recently read, people who volunteer are 27% more likely to get a job than people who dont.  Thats a pretty big difference. My volunteer experience didnt work out as well as I would have liked but if I had to do it over, I would definitely look for more volunteer opportunities. Aside from increasing your likelihood of getting a job (because of the networking you are doing), volunteering gets you out of the house, and doing something productive.  This has to be a good way to keep your attitude in check. Are you volunteering?  If not, why not??
