Many hiring managers choose one candidate over another because of their volunteer experience. They feel that it shows strong character and selflessness - qualities that make a great employee. Talk to the interviewer about your willingness to give back to your community through 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.

"I have volunteered with many organizations since I was eight years old. My mother taught my brother and me the importance of giving back to the community, and I continue to volunteer to this day. I am involved with the Special Olympics, Habitat for Humanity, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and the Red Cross."

"I started volunteering when I was 16 years old as a candy striper at Cottage Hospital in Southern California. After graduating high school, the candy striper program was dissolved, so I started volunteering with the Special Olympics as a coach. I still volunteer as a coach and work once a week at a local assisted living facility, reading stories to the residents."
