I'll be honest, my CV is pretty much empty as far as student CV's go. I haven't had a job before, I haven't had a placement or an internship... I'm not exactly struggling to fit it onto one page. So one of the things I thought might help would be to volunteer!
Bath Spa University has a pretty good volunteering scheme called Just V, and they have a range of volunteering opportunities. Including what they call 'Quickies', or as I would call it, one day volunteering. You can just register to volunteer one day at a time to do various tasks. And today was my first one!
So today me, Allie and Becky headed to Bath City Farm where we (and the other volunteers) spent the day painting the building, building a bonfire and looking after the animals. To be fair Allie, Becky and I spent most of the day painting instead of mucking out the animals, but hey we still did hard labour. It was actually pretty fun, the people were all really nice and we got a lot done. They give you lunch, snacks and free t-shirt, so it's not a bad deal. Although I did completely ruin my t-shirt with paint, and also my used-to-be-favourite-but-then-they-got-a-hole-in-them jeans. Plus I was knackered when we got back, but hey ho! No sleep for the charitable.And the beauty of it is that it's something I can put on my CV. Yes!
