What looks better on a high school resume volunteering or working?
MilanMB
You can't really put one over the other. If you did, you might say working is more important, but there is more to it than that. With a resume you put on it what you have done. So if you've worked and you've been a volunteer, then you put on both things. Your work experience would always come first when laying out the resume. If you are not applying for a job, but just creating resume, you would still put the work experience first and the volunteering later in the resume.
If you are applying for a job and the volunteering was closer to the kind of job you are applying for than the work you've done, then it increases the significance of the volunteering. So what you are applying for is a factor. In the exact same resume, for a different kind of job, the volunteering might not be as important. If the kind of work you've done is close to the kind of job you are applying for, then it increases its significance. If you had worked and volunteered in the same kind of thing as the job you are applying for is, the employer will look at the work as being more important than the volunteering, but they would see the volunteering as being important too.
