The interviewer would like to know if you are giving of your time and involved in your community. As a Financial Advisor, a lot of your success comes from networking and getting your name out into the community. Volunteer work and community involvement showcase strong character and selflessness, which are all qualities that make a great advisor. Talk to the interviewer about how you are active and involved outside of work.

"I recently began sitting on the business commerce board for our city. Part of what we do it raise funds for local schools and other needs for the community, while also providing helpful resources to local business owners. I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience so far and plan to dedicate myself more often to giving back to others."

"Aside from being a Financial Advisor, I am also the parent of three young children. Their schools and sports groups are often running community fundraising events. This year I volunteered to be a school committee treasurer. It doesn't take up much of my time, but it does feel great to be an active parent helper."

I’ve always involved myself heavily in volunteer opportunities and community functions. Currently, I am a member of my local Selective Service System board, and I am working on becoming a volunteer for the American Red Cross. In the past, I’ve involved myself in many local volunteer efforts, and I’ve always enjoyed the connections I’ve made while working.

Nice! What do you do as a member of the SSS board? Why have you decided to volunteer for the American Red Cross? And can you talk more about some of the local volunteerism you've done? Provide specifics to impress the interviewer. Great job!
