Hey! I spent the past couple years trying to gain more volunteering an work experience. Apart for some random volunteer opportunities, I mostly had my college placement with Canadian Pardon Services to rely on for experience. I'm also aiming at specialization in Mental Health and I sought volunteering with Canadian Mental Health Association, working with various individuals one-on-one in the community. I also was very fortunate to be hired with Community Living as a support worker. I also started volunteering with Big Brothers Big Sisters. I applied last year, and while I had started some volunteering and work, it wasn't quite enough hours and experience. Volunteering is a great opportunity and looks great on your resume.
