After graduating from college in 1932, I decided to try for a job as a sports announcer (播音员) on the radio. I took the bus to Chicago and knocked on the door of every radio station. But I was refused every time. In one studio, a nice lady told me that big radio stations didn’t want to accept inexperienced (没经验的) persons. “Go to the countryside and find a small station that’ll give you a chance,” she said.

I returned home, Dixon in Illinois. My father said Smith Ward had opened a store and wanted a local sportsman to manage its sports department. Since I had played high school football in Dixon, I applied. The job sounded just right for me, but I still failed in the interview. As I left his office, I felt sad. I asked aloud, “How can a man become a sports announcer if he can’t get a job in a radio station?”

I was waiting for the lift when I heard Smith Ward calling, “What did you say about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he made me stand before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary (想象的) game. As a result, I did a wonderful job and was told to broadcast Saturday’s game!

On my way home, I thought of my mother’s words again: Everything happens for the best if you carry on. One day something good will happen.

These volunteer opportunities often offer additional professional benefits, as well.

Any volunteer job instills a sense of "giving back." However, overseas volunteering can be truly meaningful in this area. People in foreign cultures understand that you might be giving up numerous creature comforts to help them out.    2     .

Overseas volunteers may not only learn a new language during their stay, they may also come to appreciate their native tongue all the more. Total being involved in the culture will require at least a conversational grasp of the language. Often, English speakers are called upon to teach English as a second language, which requires relearning often-forgotten rules of grammar and usage.    3     .

If the expression "ugly American" rings a bell, know that overseas volunteering is an excellent cure for that particular problem.     4    . The lessons may lead to the volunteer thinking twice about how their behavior appears to others in daily life.

Going to a foreign country for a volunteer experience is a huge boost (帮助) on a resume. Employers love to see a person that can think outside the box and work past their comfort zone. The added benefits of teamwork, foreign language knowledge, and plain old hard work also add polish (品味) to the volunteer candidate. Since business now happens on a global scale, the volunteer is armed with useful, and potentially actionable, information.
