Hey all! I just wanted to share that I got an administrative volunteer opportunity for the science fair that could lead to a full-time job (for a nonprofit, which is my career path of choice). I’m starting after the holidays. Blindly applying for online jobs wasn’t working out so this seems like the best path to follow in order to start my career. ---

Congratulations. Volunteering is always good to see on a resume. ---

I volunteered for the organization for 3 months last year (as an intern) and will do it again for 3 to 4 months. I’m not sure how to include this on a resume without taking up much space.
