So I'm moving to Boston...with an apartment but no job (:P) but I've been searching and came across a volunteer opportunity for me to network. It's called On Your feet Project and it targets 18-35 year olds to get involved in fundraising and volunteering through charity events and volunteer events. They already have three Chapters across the country and they are starting a new one in Boston and I contaced them. The Program Director already told me she can put me in contact with people from many different schools (MIT and Harvard) and non-profits in Boston, and she named me the PR Director! Yay! It's non-paid but only a few hours of commitment a week, a great resume builder and an awesome way for me to network for my job and just meet new people! I'm so excited!! :)

what are the other cities they are in?  I'm going to need ways to meet people when I move.  Maybe my new city has it.

lola...congratulations, that sounds like an excellent resume-builder.  Too bad it is not paid, but sometimes you have to do that stuff to become the best candidate for a paying job.


lsubatgirl...just curious, what city are you moving to?


I am also moving to a new city and I'm scared I won't meet anybody.  At least my BF is coming too, but he won't move until July :(  I have to study for a national board examination also, but I don't want to spend all my free time doing that!  Do you like animals?  I was thinking I could volunteer at an animal shelter.  I also want to join a book club (I am so nerdy!).


Good luck with your move!

I'm headed to Houston.  I've already tracked down my sorority alum group and asked for info on when they meet and stuff.  I might look into an animal shelter if I have some time.  I will be studying for hopefully the last 2 parts of the cpa exam when I first get over there then I'll be free from studying forever!!!
