Some people will tell you it’s never, ever worth it to work for free. But it’s perfectly acceptable to do career-related work without pay – IF you derive some other career-related benefit from it.
It could be keeping up a skill, or having the opportunity to work for your potential dream client, or flexing a creative muscle you haven’t been able to use in a while.
Working for free is something to consider, especially if you’re out of the workforce, looking to go back after a long break, or contemplating switching careers. It could benefit anyone else who lacks the relevant experience or current skills they need for the job they want. For further ideas, see the article here.
