Unlike a lot of people I’ve no experience of volunteering; I
was lucky enough to get the first library assistant job I applied for and have
worked in libraries ever since. However if I’d known then that a career in the
information profession was for me, perhaps I would have sought out opportunities
to gain practical experience elsewhere. At the moment I don’t really have the
time to volunteer, though I can see how it could be a positive thing. Since I
started my secondment I’ve become more aware of gaps in my skills, so perhaps if
opportunities weren’t available at work I would need to go elsewhere to fill them.
However I think I’m quite lucky; I’ve been given opportunities and
encouraged to gain experience and develop my skills in my current
job.
