Job Search: Communicating Nonpaid Work Experience
Original Version Published on Helium
By Pearl Grace
Takeaways
Volunteer experiences are important to a person's personal skills inventory.
Holding an office in a parent/teacher organization is an example of nonpaid
work experience.
Communicating unpaid work experiences to potential employers is vital to
obtaining a job.
If you are re-entering the workforce, making a career change, or seeking
employment for the first time, be aware of the entire inventory of your
skills. You must be able to clearly communicate them. Therefore, your
non-paid work experiences, not just those related to prior paid work
positions, matter. Completing an inventory of skills used in non-paid work
is wonderful preparation for writing your resume or taking part in a job
interview. Thus, you can then communicate those skills to someone who may be
interested in hiring you.
---Importance of Non-Paid Work Experiences
Your volunteer efforts are important. You probably received some training
for a volunteer position, or at least some mentoring. Basically,
volunteering equals working, you just don't get paid for it. Quite frankly,
volunteer positions often involve performing tasks that if done elsewhere, a
person would probably get paid for them. For many people, volunteer work is
actually where some of their best work skills were developed.
---Take A Skills Inventory of Non-Paid Work Experiences
To identify skills you have developed and used in non-paid experiences,
complete an inventory. Start out by listing various unpaid "jobs" you have
had. Then, beside each job, think about what you did to carry out the job.
List those tasks. Next, list the talents or skills you exhibited in
performing those tasks.
For example, perhaps you volunteered at the local daycare center managing
the children at lunchtime. You no doubt had to be good with children,
communicate clearly, and think quickly on your feet. Also, you must have
learned to be organized in coordinating the schedule for when the children
had lunch, getting them into and seated in the lunchroom on time, and making
sure they ate. Then, you got the children out of the lunchroom in time to
clean up and get ready for the next group. The skills involved were good
communication, problem-solving, and being organized.
Or perhaps you were the president of the Parent Teacher Organization at your
child's school. The list of skills such a position requires is many and
varied. Some of them are: the ability to work well with people, possession
of excellent communication skills, well-organized, effective
problem-solving, good planning skills, experienced in fund-raising, and
creative in terms of idea generation.
Do not forget to include other tasks you have done to help others or in
taking care of your own home. For example, perhaps you have gardened and
grown flowers and bushes for years and now want to work at a plant nursery.
You have no doubt accumulated a lot of knowledge about plants and how to
grow them. If you have sewn your own clothes and your children's clothes for
the last 10 years, the experience would certainly be relevant if you are
seeking a position as a seamstress.
---How and When to Share Your Skills
You will have more than one opportunity to reveal your skills to a potential
employer. The first chance will most likely be in your cover letter when you
submit a resume for a position. The second, then, is in your resume.
Finally, should you get called for an interview you have the opportunity to
verbally elaborate on your prior experiences and skills during your meeting.
---Summary
Don't sell yourself short when you are in the midst of a job search. Recount
your non-paid work history to flesh out tasks completed and identify the
skills required for each of them. Then, share those skills in your resume,
cover letters, and interviews to market yourself. Communicating the skills
used in your non-paid work experiences can help you get the job you want.

Your Resume: What Qualifies as Work Experience?
Pad Your Resume with Qualified Work Experience
By J. Ellen Fedder
Getting that first job is often the toughest. No one wants to hire you
without experience. But how do you get experience, when no one wants to hire
you? You're caught. The next best thing you can do is to acquire some
related experience. This can be accomplished through volunteer work. In
addition to volunteer work that you can include on a resume, you can also
include references to living experiences. You have a lot of living
experiences that could qualify as work experience. Learn how to pad your
resume with qualified work experience, when you thought you had none.
Work Experience: Volunteer Work Counts
Volunteer work experience is work experience. Nothing says you have to be
paid in order for skills to be learned. Here's what you can do. Volunteer
for an unpaid position to accumulate at least 3 month's work experience. You
could work for a lesser amount of time, but 3 months is what many agencies
like you to commit to. It provides enough time for you to build skills.
Plus, and it gives an agency time enough to warrant the training and to
count on your service.
Hospitals are great places to volunteer. You'd be surprised how many
different jobs there are at a hospital that can be done by a volunteer.
Hospitals have staff to train you, and flexible schedules during daytime and
evening hours accommodate most needs. You can volunteer as little as a few
hours per week or full-time. Volunteer work grows your skill level and gives
you a valuable work reference.
Work Experience: Include Living Experiences
Include some actual living experiences on your resume. Here are some to
consider. Babysitting is childcare experience. Lawn-mowing is lawn-care
experience. Taking the neighbor's dog for walks is a pet-care experience.
When the neighbors are on vacation, keeping a watchful eye on their house is
house-sitting experience. Fundraising at the fireworks stand or the bake
sale is sales experience. Running chores and getting groceries for a shut-in
is personal care experience. Helping to build a deck is construction
experience. See how many job-related experiences you already have? Name them
on a resume.
Work Experience: Be Proactive
Don't waste time getting depressed over the fact that no one wants to hire
an inexperienced employee. Instead, get some experience by volunteering.
Furthermore, improve your resume to include all the experiences you've had
that do speak of job-related skills. In today's marketplace, you have to be
proactive. Move ahead of the next inexperienced person by gaining volunteer
experience. What's more, include life experiences on your resume. Let the
potential employer decide what qualifies as work experience.

Article: How to Create a Resume that Makes You Shine (AssociatedCont
Posted by: "Eric Nilsson" ericnilsson@earthlink.net eric_s_nilsson

How to Create a Resume that Makes You Shine
By Christina Pomoni
If you have posted your resume on numerous job search engines for over a
month and you still haven't been contacted by any headhunter, it probably
means something goes wrong with your resume. As your resume is an important
piece of correspondence in your effort to land a job, you need to make sure
that it fulfils all the necessary requirements to produce results.
Here are some important considerations:
a) Format
There are two types of resumes you can use, namely chronological and
functional resume. Considering that an employer will give your resume no
more than 8 seconds in the initial review, you need to grab their interest
with the right format in order to make them understand who you are; what are
you looking for; and why you should be offered an interview. By using the
right format, you have the chance to organize the information in such a way
as to pass the employer's initial scan.
. Functional Format
The functional resume lists your work experience based on your skills
allowing you to present your achievements by relevance rather than by
chronology. Most candidates prefer the functional format to produce results
when considering a career change; when preparing to re-enter the job arena;
when their most recently held position is not notable; when their job titles
do not precisely describe the level of responsibility undertaken.
. Chronological Format
The chronological resume is the most traditional format that highlights the
dates, employment firms and job titles in your entire career up to date. You
are more likely to prefer a chronological resume to produce results when
considering remaining in the same field of expertise or industry; when your
work experience clearly demonstrates career growth and greater job
responsibilities; when your most recently held position is remarkable; when
there are gaps in your employment history.
b) Achievements
Think of your resume as a valuable tool to get the job you have always
dreamed of. You can use this tool effectively by stating your working
experience in the form of describing your achievements instead of just
mentioning boring job descriptions. For instance, you may describe in short
a task you have performed and has resulted in a specific accomplishment such
as 'Reduced inventory of stainless steel materials by 14% thus increasing
liquidity by approximately 23%', instead of a job description such as
'Responsible for the purchasing control and inventory analysis of stainless
steel materials'. Remember that a job description simply states what you
should do. An achievement highlights what you have actually done; how good
you are at a particular task; and the self-confidence you possess for your
skills and competencies. In reality, this is a triple value effect for your
working experience, presented in the most prominent way.
To decide on the most appropriate achievements for your resume, ask yourself
the following questions:
. Which of my achievements really matches my job objective?
You should be able to single out from your achievements those that really
match your career objectives and address the requirements of the job you are
applying for. For instance, if you are applying for an equity research
position, it would be useful to include in your resume a sentence that
describes you as a candidate who has 'performed timely, in-depth research
for the Equity Research Department at the request of institutional and
private investors.'
. What management or technical skills do I possess to demonstrate
the level of work I can produce?
If you know that the job you are applying for requires you to possess basic
computer skills, you may include a sentence in your resume stating
'Proficient in MS Office, Adobe, Imaging, and basic HTML coding'. In doing
so, not only you meet the requirement, but you also exceed it, putting
yourself on the top of candidates' list.
There are other questions you may ask yourself, such as how did you
accomplish you last achievement, why you think you are the best fit for this
position and so on in order to be able to convey to your potential employer
the message that you are the ideal candidate for the job.
c) Focus on a target
A targeted resume can put you on the top of the candidates' list when the
time for the final decision comes. What you seek for is to get considered by
the HR manager so that your resume doesn't get lost in the pile of competing
resumes or, even worse, ends up in the shredder. The main idea in writing a
winning resume is to focus on your career objective. This means that you
need to tailor your resume in order to meet the requirements of each job
you're applying for. It doesn't mean changing your resume completely,
neither lying just to show you are the best for the job. It just means
revisiting your resume and make sure it is targeted to the job objective you
are currently pursuing. After all, the energy you will consume in tailoring
your resume may be the key to land an interview and possibly a job.
Overall, when sending out a resume you seek to be considered by the HR
manager or stuff. To avoid falling in the trap of knock-out factors that
each HR department uses to sort out the huge pile of resumes they receive
every day, you need to make sure you use clear language and include your
achievements as explained above. Avoid mentioning work experience that is
irrelevant to the job posting or a career objective that is irrelevant to
the job posting and make sure your resume does have rich grammar.
Finally, you may identify possible gaps in your resume by seeking if it is
too generic, focusing on your past; if it includes mostly job descriptions
rather than achievements; or if it highlights mostly your weaknesses rather
than your strengths. By doing this quick scanning you will be able to fill
in the gaps and create a winning resume.
