Volunteering can be a test-drive in many cases.   It allows people to see your talents in action.   It also gives you a chance to show off your abilities beyond the view of your current employer or from behind the walls of unemployment. Volunteering This week, Fast Companys article Volunteering Will Save Your Career highlights the importance of volunteering AND announces LinkedIns newest addition.   Your action item for this week?   Add your volunteer experiences to your LinkedIn profile.
