How to write a staff volunteer resume

Craft a resume summary statement

Your resume summary sums up your experience and skills, making it easy for hiring managers to understand your qualifications at a glance. Here are some tips to writing the most important 2-4 sentences of your resume:

Step 1: Mention your current job title or the role you're pursuing.

Step 2: Include your years of experience in staff volunteer-related roles. Consider adding relevant company and industry experience as relevant to the job listing.

Step 3: Highlight your greatest accomplishments. Here is your chance to make sure your biggest wins aren't buried in your resume.

Step 4: Again, keep it short. Your goal is to summarize your experience and highlight your accomplishments, not write a paragraph.

These four steps should give you a strong elevator pitch and land you some staff volunteer interviews.

Please upload your resume so Zippia’s job hunt AI can draft a summary statement for you.

List the right project manager skills

Your Skills section is an easy way to let recruiters know you have the skills to do the job. Just as importantly, it can help your resume not get filtered out by hiring software. Here is how to make the most of your skills section and make sure you have the right keywords:

You often need to include the exact keywords from the job description in your resume. Look at the job listing and consider which of the listed skills you have experience with, along with related skills.
Include as many relevant hard skills and soft skills as possible from the listing.
Use the most up to date and accurate terms. Don't forget to be specific.

These five steps should give you a strong elevator pitch and land you some staff volunteer interviews.

Here are example skills to include in your “Area of Expertise” on a staff volunteer resume:

Community Outreach
Crisis Intervention
Child Care
Non-Profit Organization
Front Desk
RAN

Ministry
Food Preparation
Event Planning
Role Model
Leadership
Community Services

PowerPoint
Facebook
Bible Studies
Domestic Violence

How to structure your work experience

Your work experience should be structured:

With your most recent roles first, followed by earlier roles in reverse chronological order.
Job title, along with company name and location on the left.
Put the corresponding dates of employment on the left side.
Keep only relevant jobs on your work experience.

How to write staff volunteer experience bullet points

Your resume is not a list of responsibilities or a job description. Instead, it is your chance to show your accomplishments and show why you're good at what you do.

Use the What, How, and Why format. Answering these questions turns a bland job description into an effective showcase of your abilities.
What were your responsibilities or goals?
How did you accomplish them?
Why were your results important? (How did it impact your company? Can you quantify the results in numbers? )

Here are great bullet points from staff volunteer resumes:

Add an education section to your resume

The education section should display your highest degree first.

Place your education section appropriately on your resume. If you graduated over 5 years ago, this section should be at the bottom of your resume. If you just graduated and lack relevant work experience, the education section should go to the top.

If you have a bachelor's or master's degree, do not list your high school education. If your graduation year is more than 15-20 years ago, it's better not to include dates in this section.

Here are some examples of good education entries from staff volunteer resumes:

Master's Degree in journalism

George Mason University, Fairfax, VA

2016 - 2017

Bachelor's Degree in human development

Cornell University, Ithaca, NY

2012 - 2015

Highlight your staff volunteer certifications on your resume

Certifications can be a crucial part of your resume. Many jobs have required certifications.

Include the full name of the certification, along with the name of the issuing organization and date of obtainment.
