Would you ever do volunteer work for a for profit organization?

[Cheese Wagstaff]

I guess 12/17-8/18 is really equal to 32 days.

I know it seems like I registered here for the first time only last month, but it was actually almost nine months ago that I registered here, for the first time.

I'm also a first time registrant and have no knowledge of the history of LNGE, TJ or posting ghard.

oh yeah, sometimes i forget that i've not been here since 2008 as well. I'm a little farther along than y'all, but not by much.

Personally, I say no. Really you should try and benefit non profit causes with your volunteer time. Wondering though if anyone here disagrees and thinks you should spend your free time helping an organization make more money while allowing them not to actually pay for necessary labor? If so, why?

it is called work experience and often how people get the first notch on the CV/Resume

To get a job you need experience, to get experience you need a job

Experience would suggest that voluntary work for a for profit organisation has the opposite effect.

Some very famous Hollywierd directors had their starts working as intern. Producer Don Simpson got his start as well

I volunteer at my local soup kitchen when I can, but I have far less time now that I am a father. It is a rewarding and enlightening experience to discover how truly blessed we are.

Just met a guy who volunteers at Subaru marketing events and so far everyone I’ve asked have confirmed they agree that means he is a pathetic f***ing loser.

Makes you think.

Giving cash to non-profits is an extremely naive twentysomething move. I've had access to many non-profits payrolls in my career. Most of their salaried employees have six figure salaries and 90% of the donations go to pay them. You should only donate supplies to them and never cash.

He's networking to help his career and smarter than those who think he's a loser.

Didn’t know you were a Subaru shareholder.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Successful people don't call others losers.

Surprised he hasn’t answered you since he is such a big fan of giving away his time for free.
