[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends what the volunteer work is. For example, if you did some accounting for your church or organized a database or produced published materials, that might merit inclusion on a resume/LinkedIn. If you volunteered at a bake sale fundraiser, then, no, that doesn't merit inclusion. Only include volunteer work if it shows applicable skills to the jobs you are trying to reach and if you can list an accomplishment, were in a leadership position with a decent level of responsibility, or had a longstanding position of importance (e.g., managed the accounts for 5 years). [/quote] Exactly. If it is relevant to the position, include it. I was a church administrator before we moved. One of our members listed me as a professional reference and used her volunteer experience at the church on her resume. She was the chair of our marketing team and the position she was seeking was in marketing at a small non-profit. She did a lot of work for me in creating and developing ads for the newspaper. She was great at using photoshop and Lucid to create fantastic flyers. She handled all the marketing for special events. She organized our marketing team volunteers. She created and proposed a new budget to our Board of Trustees. All relevant to the job she was seeking. And yes. She got the job. [/quote]
