How would you describe volunteering with community legal aid on a resume description?
Find answers to your legal question.

Updating my resume, and having trouble describing volunteering with legal aid in a creative way. Any suggestions?

Volunteer work is generally entered below your work experience and special skills or certifications.

Don't get "creative" just list what you did that was job/business-like in nature.

HR isn't completely stupid and they see through fluff really easy.
