Does volunteer experience on your resume help you get hired?

If your goal is to find a job, including volunteer work on your resume is a great move.  In a Deloitee study of 2,506 U.S. hiring influencers in metropolitan areas, 82% of responders said they are more likely to choose a candidate with volunteering experience.  "As the battle for talent continues, volunteering can be a strong leg-up on the competition...", said Mike Preston, chief talent officer, Deloitte, LLP.
S o then, why do job-seekers leave it off their resumes?  Maybe they think that employers don't care. Maybe they haven't volunteered recently. Maybe they think it will distract interviewers from their professional experience. Maybe they just think it won't fit on their resumes(trying to stick to the now outdated practice of fitting an entire work history onto a single page).  

 Volunteer experience shows employers that you can manage your time. It shows that you can complete tasks and that you can get along with others. It shows that you can make a commitment and are loyal to an organization.  These are the qualities that can help your resume stand out from the rest. 

Always put volunteering on your resume. Hiring managers absolutely love it!

Sometimes, volunteering actually leads to direct job opportunities!  Employers want to hire someone that goes above and beyond, and having volunteer experience on your resume is a surefire sign of that. Giving of your time has career enhancing power!
Jaclyn Westlake, recruiter, wrote an  article on the muse.com website in which she said, "You should absolutely include volunteer experience on your resume. It'll help you stand out, make you seem like a real-life, three-dimensional person, and give the hiring manager a better idea of what makes you tick."
Almost every industry values volunteer work!
