Re: Volunteering is Good for Your Career! - and how it relates to FIRSTers

My advice is to have several different resumes that will highlight the skills for the particular job/company you are applying to. My last resume included a section on community activities including volunteer church work, because I was applying to a private Roman Catholic college and it fit their mission. Those things were mentioned in the interview. I might not include those activities on a resume going out to a large corporation, or I might word them differently. (As a side note, my boss did an Internet search on me before scheduling an interview and saw some of the things I was involved in... and I searched her on the Internet, too. I try and keep that in mind whenever posting something online - it can reflect on you years from now when trying to get a job - eeks, what will they read into me from my postings on CD!!!)
