Adding Volunteer Experience to your resume!
Did you know you can add your 7Cups experience to your resume?
Awesome, right?!
You may be asking yourself....
Where can I put my volunteer positions on my resume? (related experience)
Work or professional history, section (whichever you may have on yours)
Where can I put my non-related experience?
You can create a volunteer position section at the bottom of your resume!
This is a great option if you feel it will set you apart of other candidates
What should my format be?
Format your volunteer work using the same structure you used for previously held jobs, but make sure you identify your role as “volunteer” along with any additional titles held like management or leadership positions.
Example:
7Cups - Mental Health Organization
Volunteer (Your position),(state date - end date)
The Benefits
- Great for those with limited professional experience -
especially those who recently graduated high school or college!
- Volunteer work may also benefit anyone applying to work in industries where such work is highly valued.
- It keeps gives companies an understanding as to why there is a gap
in your resume (such as leaving the workforce for a period of time)
