What does clinical experience mean?

What does it mean you have volunteer experience?

  • I'm filling out a job application where it ask if I have volunteer experience. I don't know what kind of volunteer experience it is asking for? I done volunteering before for organizations but I don't get paid or anything like that, it's either for community service or it came from the soft spot of my heart of helping others.

  • Answer:

    They're looking for any sort of volunteer work (charity, civic, political, etc.) that's working with or for any recognizable group. Randomly helping a blind woman cross the street, or donations of money or goods are types of things that don't count. However, volunteering at the hospital, or helping campaign for a local politician, or working with a conservation group are all examples of what can be counted.

Dont look to deep into it. Its asking if you have volunteer experience.. that's it. You said you do - so list it - especially if you feel it's relevent. For instance, if you're applying to be a teacher.. or counselor.. etc.. if you have volunteered at a school DEF put that. If you have volunteered at a soup kitchen, it may not be as relevant, but it does show that you value volunteerism. Good Luck! ~

Great! Volunteers don't get paid but it's still experience. We volunteer with the ambulance and don't get paid. Just b/c someone doesn't get paid doesn't mean it's any less important. Just ask the guy on the stretcher. :)

It depends on the job application. Either they are asking if you have any volunteer experience in the field of work you are applying for, or they are asking about general volunteer experience (which it sounds like you have!). Read the application carefully to determine what they are looking for. But in most cases, it will be the latter - they want to know about all the volunteering youv'e done.
