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.

"For the past eight months, I have volunteered every Wednesday evening at our local animal shelter. I help with grooming the animals, feeding them, and walking them. It's been an enjoyable experience and rewarding at the same time."

"I have not formally volunteered in recent years. However, I spend a lot of time helping my brother, who is a single dad. I babysit on weekends, cook dinners for him and my niece, and drive her to appointments when necessary. I feel that it is essential to take care of my family's needs."
