Describe any volunteer experience you have had, whether in the optometry field or with a nonprofit organization. Having volunteer experience shows that you have a personal commitment to make an impact on other's lives, which is a great quality to have. It also fills in gaps on your resume or CV and shows that you care about your community.

"I have quite a bit of volunteer experience. Since I was a teenager, I have volunteered my time at a retirement home every Saturday, where I talk with the residents and play games with them. I have also volunteered as an undergraduate student, working as a health and medicine volunteer at a community clinic. Now that I am an Optometrist, I volunteer twice a month at a free clinic performing eye exams on those who are uninsured."
