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, neighbors, 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 role as a healthcare professional, focus on describing the projects you have contributed to. If your volunteer experience does not include work-related contributions, that is fine.

"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."
