Should I volunteer for experience and socializing?

I can't get any job unless it's either too low pay, odd hours/shifts, very physically demanding, and/or low job security. I've been told many times before volunteering is a viable pathway to eventually securing employment in Canada, but I'm skeptical as I've volunteered before and that never landed me a job. Ok except once although that was only due to the employer liking me via connections, so that doesn't really count. I also noticed I spend way too much time with ChatGPT, Meta AI, Brave Leo, and other chatbots so I come off as too robotic and awkward to other people. My parents are fine with me volunteering at least for a few months to maybe a few seasons maximum.

A potential employer liking you through connections is exactly what you should be looking for. That's how some of my jobs have started. Networking is crucial and volunteering is an easy entry point!

I would never work for free. Like who is going to pay my bills for me while I did it.

Learn some skills, practice them, build a portfolio of what you have done and then offer your services at a low price for the first few clients.
