Pros

The pros of this position are of great importance because, as Face-to-Face fundraiser, we need to be communicative, quick-witted, and ready to answer troublesome questions. This job has given me valuable insight into the importance of presentation skills, body language, and facial expressions. Another advantage is this position has allowed me to communicate with variety of people and recognize that people have unique personalities. However, if they want to help, they will. Therefore, I began to read people before engaging with them. Additionally, I learned valuable lesson- sometimes you have to accept ''No" as an answer, but no at all costs. Another plus is the sense of purpose. Every campaign for me was goal setting because of the focus of the organization to help children in need- that's a meaningful purpose.

Cons

The cons of this job include having to stand on your feet all day and occasionally encountering discriminatory people who hold the belief that women should be treated without respect.

Pros

Working at the UN was an amazing experience, being able to take part in such a significant mission was great.

Cons

As I was not a full-time volunteer and was also responsible for fundraising in my territory, I felt that I did not receive the same treatment as the other volunteers. It was a challenging role and experience, and at times it felt like my well-being was not fully considered.
