Don't put it in work history. Put it in other activities or something like that. If work history is the only place that it will go into, then put it in there, but be sure to make that you put volunteer work very clearly.

List it as Volunteer Experience...Sometimes, depending on the work and length of it, it can get you hired faster than job experience b/c you did it on your own, on a voluntary basis, not expecting pay.

It is perfectly reasonable to put volunteer work under the heading of _Work Experience_ because it is relevant work that you have done for an organization, and it is experience that can help your prospective employer. To put it elsewhere on the form gives the impression that it was not as important as paid work. Adding that it was unpaid highlights your commitment.

This person is right, it should be listed as if it was a job as experience. I think it needs to be in work experience, just because there was no pay doesn't mean that it wasn't work. I as a manager would be pleased with it being there

As an employer for and an employee of a large non-profit organization that depends on a dedicated paid and volunteer work force, please believe me that volunteer experience can be just as important as paid work history - many times more so. Your volunteer experience belongs under work history! Volunteers, by nature, are caring compassionate professionals who believe strongly in the work they do. These are all highly regarded qualities that employers in any field will consider when making employment decisions. I would consider someone with a strong background in volunteering and no paid work history just as seriously as I would any other candidate...although please do make sure to differentiate between work done for monetary compensation and your volunteer work simply because being a volunteer has distinct advantages in any job market.
