Resume question?




How important are volunteer activities when writing a resume?
I have volunteered for three organizations over a nine -year period and have developed lots of leadership skills and team-building work. Or do employers view volunteering as superfluous? Thanks for your help.

    An other experience section where you contributed and skills along with it will stand out dont put it if you contributed and list your accomplishments and list paid experience if you can highlight your accomplishments and learned by volunteering will stand out dont put it if you can.
    The bottom of the page put it if you only have to list your volunteer efforts.
