It can be beneficial to include relevant volunteer experience on your resume, even when you are applying for a job you are under-qualified for. For example, if you have extensive knowledge of a software program and need experience in order to land the job, then shadowing people at work or helping out at your local tech support center can provide that. Make sure to keep track of the number of hours you’ve put into volunteer work and specify details like duties performed in your application packet. Adding this information onto an already packed resume is helpful as it allows the reader not just to assess but also potentially draw correlations between skills applicable to both positions - ultimately highlighting your candidacy! Good luck!

Don’t worry, you are not alone. There are a few techniques you can use to make your resume seem more powerful than it is and make yourself stand out amongst the applicants. One tactic is to add additional pages to your resume detailing qualitative or quantitative results that may be pertinent to the job for which you are applying. This extra page provides an opportunity for showcasing any awards or specific accomplishments that may not necessarily fit into your work experience in a meaningful way, but could give employers an idea of the value and potential that you bring as an employee. Additionally, it allows employers to gain context for why certain jobs had been selected or left off of your actual work experience section on your resume.
