“I think there’s a distinction between volunteering to help you in your own personal development and in your career development," says Jamie Peretz, the founder of 2MyCareer, a college to career advisory service assisting college students and recent graduates with first careers. "Volunteering is always important for someone’s personal development and it can be important for professional development.”
This from J Prior to founding her company, Jamie was a managing director at Korn Ferry International, the global leader in executive search and talent management.
When it comes to building a career foundation, this important piece of the puzzle can be essential to help people on the cusp of starting a career clarify their own interests, goals and passions according to Peretz, who holds a BA from Princeton University, an MBA from New York University, and a JD from Georgetown University.
