QUESTION 32 OF 35

Tell me about an organization or group you have contributed to outside of work.

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 years, I have volunteered with the Special Olympics. I am in charge of getting the participants signed in for an event and encouraging the athletes during their events and awarding their medals and trophies. It's been an enjoyable and rewarding experience."

"I have not formally volunteered due to my heavy workload in recent years. However, I spend a lot of time helping my sister, who is a single mom. I babysit on weekends, cook dinners for her and the kids, and drive them to appointments when necessary. I feel that it is essential to take care of my family's needs."
