Career Service #2

Today, April 15 2015 (no this isn't about tax day), there was a career service held by Notre Dame Mission Volunteers. 

When I was browsing the career services coming up that were offered, I decided I wanted to learn more about this firm.

It wasn't exactly what I thought the organization was going to be, but this is what I took from it:

The organization sends volunteers around the US to work alongside other religious folks, who are trying to make a difference with the "economically disadvantaged". While the volunteers are at their locations, they work with the disadvantaged with "literacy and education". Overall, the firm really strives to help the disadvantaged through education, which they believe is the key to helping someone help themselves.

I like the idea of what the firm is trying to accomplish. However, it was not quite the organization for me. My last career service I went to check out the Peace Corps, and that really resonated with me. 

For the career services, I was more interested in learning about experiences outside of schools, as opposed to seminars or workshops. I think I was able to do some good exploring. Of the two, I really enjoyed the PeaceCorps, and everything they had to offer in terms of experiences.
