      Entry Level Example

      "I was raised by parents who believed that giving back to the community through volunteering was the most important thing you could do. Even if you don't have money to give, you can always find the time. Currently, I spend every Sunday afternoon working as a health aid at the homeless shelter."

      Answer Example

      "I have a family member that was diagnosed with diabetes a few years ago, and I am now a volunteer with the American Diabetes Association. There is an annual fundraiser, and I am the co-chairperson for the event. One of the reasons that I applied to this position was because I read about your facility's commitment to employee wellness, and I appreciate that the company also supports the American Diabetes Association."

      Rachelle's Feedback

      This volunteer experience/community involvement is very important :) What initially drove you to join the flu vaccinations community team? Is there a specific personal or professional driver?
