WILL WORK FOR FREE

Today's mull-over: "Will work for free"

I'm wondering how it would work to just offer my services for free to a worthy organization, (cause frankly trying to get paid employment isn't working).

"MPA, mulit-lingual, 12 years professional experience, committed to making the world a better place, thrives in diversity, excellent references, etc..."

I realize I have a few caveats: not for profit (cause if it's going to be for a for-profit, they better pay me); limit 20 hours a week (but open to different situations); not long-term (one month? three months?).

Think it would work? And how can I make it work?

I posted this on Facebook. "Volunteer!" Said a friend.

I'm looking at that too. Essentially I'm looking to volunteer extensively and long-term.

What's weird is how difficult that is to do.

First, you gotta verify their reliability and ability. Then you gotta train the person. And if they're really qualified, then why aren't they working?

Meaning, people think you're weird.

I'll let you know how it goes.
