Hi there,

Would you work with a Small Consultancy Company for a month as a Volunteer?

Is experience that important to you?

Yes most definitely. I did same but not as a volunteer, I got a small daily rate. One of my best decisions..... excellent experience. In my situation I discovered just how not to do things - it also gave me the confidence I needed to go it alone, something I had thought about but wasn't sure. Hope that if you decide to volunteer you get something out of it.

My first job was similar - (but I was lucky enough to get low pay), I had to move away, I had to work hard, long hours.... it paid off!

It depends on a few things.

1) Where its based. Couldn't do it if it's not local
2) Would have to have some funding for petrol. Couldn't do it completely for nothing
3) If it was real work, not just acting as someone's goffer.
4) A reference once the project work was over.
