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 through volunteerism. And remember, you will gain bonus points if your volunteerism is related to your profession. 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.

One of my professors recommended the company to gain insight into different therapy careers while giving back to communities in Ecuador, Belize, Mexico, and Honduras. I have learned so much from this experience, and I plan to continue working with Therapy Adventures throughout my career."
