Getting Involved With Your Career Interest / Hobbies

I just wrote out this whole blog, then my

phone lost it when I went to copy and

paste it from my notes. I am not happy

right now haha.

Hi, today I’m going to be talking about

some of the ways you can get involved

with your chosen career or side

interest(s). These are a few of many, so

please do your own research if you’d

like to do more.

Volunteering can be a really good option.

It’s a good way to get some experience in

a hospital environment, so a good option

for those looking into medical careers. It’s

also a nice way to try and give back to your

community!

The best thing to do, if you’re interested,

is to ask your education provider about

opportunities. They will be able to give

you a lot of help, including being able to

tell you where will and won’t accept

volunteers. They will also know what age

you’ll have to be for most local

volunteering opportunities.

Be ready for the commitment, for however

long you choose to volunteer for. The

people I know at my hospital that volunteer

are only in for 3 hours a week. It is important,

though, to make sure you’re able to add

this to your other responsibilities.

Another good thing to do is networking! If

you’re on this Amino, chances are you’re

already doing this to an extent.

Find people who are training in your field of

interest, or are already working in that industry.

This is a great way to find out more. This could

also make you feel more prepared for the future!

A couple of questions you’d probably want to

find out could include;

What kind of hours are typical in this industry?

What kind of classes will you undertake if you

go through some form of training?

Finally, research! There are tons of different

options out there. Youtube, Tumblr blogs from

s in the field or training to be, podcasts ect…

It’s really important to try and check these out.

I’ve been working on writing a book recently,

and research has been a big help in that.

Finding other aspiring writers online has not

only been a bit of motivation, but highlighted

to me ways in which to go about the dreary

self-publishing process.

It’s important to be well educated on your field

in of interviews. Particularly in nursing,

they wanted us to have some awareness of

medical news. You don’t have to be an expert,

but you should be showing a level of interest in

the field. Plus, you may find a particular area

that you may be particularly interested (for

example; new technology could create a new

job in a company that you may want to go for).

That’s it. Thanks for reading!

I’m hoping to focus on posting blogs once

every two weeks from now on. I’m about to

go back to university and have some other

things that I’d like to work on too. I will still be

regularly checking the Amino, though!
