I'm planning a career change into an industry I have never worked in before.
To make my CV more appealing I was considering doing some unpaid work experience on one of my days off.
This way I can:
a) gain practical experience
b) see if I really want to work in the industry
My question is, do people still allow unpaid work experience or will people think I'm a crazy man?
It's not like I'm a homeless vagabond. I have a decent job already but would like to experience other industries and roles before I settle down with marriage and a mortgage.
Is my idea of spending 5-10 hours gaining work experience per week feasible? Thanks in advance.
