Volunteer Abroad Or Stay With My Current Job. by gabbidonbah(m): 11:33am On Sep 01, 2017
Hello family, I have an opportunity to travel abroad for a year long volunteering program in an international development org, but I recently started a job in a multinational company. But my concern is I don't want to go abroad and volunteer for a year and come back home after to start finding a job again. The salaries in my current job and the volunteering job is almost the same. I don't know which one to go for, as the volunteering might give me edge to easily build my career globally, I need your advice gurus in the house.

Travel abroad bruh. This will give you an edge to get a better job. You can add that to your CV and that will be noticed.

There are so many volunteer opportunities in your country, start from your church or mosque. Africa needs more volunteers than Europe or America.

I'm not a guru or anything, but wanted to give a suggestion.
That's actually nice that you would get some sort of income for volunteer work (which happens in some cases). Pray about the situation....since you have two options...and see what direction God would lead you in.

I understand. After fervent prayer, there should be an eventual peace about the decision....a calmness...a resting trust that the right decision has been made.
Perhaps fasting will give you the answer. This is a big decision....of which you know. Who knows what may be in store for you...

I would suggest you go abroad depending on the country. Some countries will help boost your passport, making it easy for you to get visa to travel again in the future. You will also more chance of getting full time job in that country, that's if you like working in that country.
