RE: Volunteer Work on a Resume?

["Secara, Maggie" <MSecara -at- OMM -dot- com>]

That's exactly what I do.  I have been managing editor for the quarterly
magazine of a national organization, and a couple of other interesting
things related either to writing or management-type responsibility, and I
put them all in just that place with, oddly enough, just that heading.  I
don't know if it has made any real difference, but I'm sure it has done no
harm.  Just because you don't get paid doesn't mean it isn't real
experience.

Just my tuppence ha'penny

<my opinion>Putting volunteer work on a resume is great if it's relevant, as
seems to be in your case.

If it were me, I would create a section smack between the Experience section
and the Education section called OTHER RELATED EXPERIENCE.  The format for
the listing would be as similar to that which I used in the Experience
section.</my opinion>

Cheers,
Bal
