Many hiring managers will choose one candidate over another because of their volunteer experience. They feel that it shows strong character and selflessness, all qualities that make a great employee. Talk to the interviewer about your willingness to give back to your community in some form of volunteerism. If you do not have formal volunteer experience, you can draw on things you do in your spare time to assist friends, family, or even your current employer.

The interviewer wants to hear about contributions you have made to the community in any form. If you have volunteered specifically in a manner related to your career path, describe the projects you have contributed to. If your volunteer experience does not include work-related contributions, that is fine.

If you do not have volunteer experience, avoid saying that you do. The hiring manager may ask for a letter of recommendation from the volunteer coordinator or for a phone number they can call for a reference. You will not be disqualified as a candidate for not having volunteer experience, but you will be if you are dishonest in your interview.

"I have worked with the Special Olympics for the past fourteen years. My brother has Down syndrome and participates in several Olympic events. I volunteer as a track coach and event organizer and play alongside athletes with intellectual disabilities. I have been volunteering since I was eight years old, and it has been one of the best experiences of my life."
