Why are employability skills important to employers?

Beyond giving back to your community or a favorite cause, volunteering is a great way for you to gain experience, hone your skills, and prove you’ve got what it takes to get the job done. For example, if you volunteered to run social media campaigns for a pet shelter and can demonstrate that your social media posts led to an increase in engagement with your audience, you’re showing a potential employer that you’ve got social media and marketing savvy.
