I certainly *hope* volunteer experience makes a difference, considering how
often folks on this list advise new or hopeful TWs to build a portfolio by

I have my most recent and relevant volunteer experience in a Volunteer
Experience section. Any positions where I was paid anything I include in my
Work Experience section. While it is true that some employers and/or
recruiters won't count volunteer experience, that is definitely not the case
for all.
IPCC 01, the IEEE International Professional Communication Conference,
October 24-27, 2001 at historic La Fonda in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA.
CALL FOR PAPERS OPEN UNTIL MARCH 15. http://ieeepcs.org/2001/
