We've had some interesting comments on how volunteering is perceived by potential employers. I'm curious how potential employers view board memberships on a resume. I'm currently serving as a secretary and trustee on the board of a small local museum. Is this considered favorable experience toward a museum job?
Also, I've noticed some interesting reactions when I've told people about my position. When I say I'm a trustee, I see some raised eyebrows and hear "wow, good for you." Then I mention that I'm also the secretary, and the eyebrows go down, and people no longer seem impressed. I hate the "just a secretary" stigma, but is it better to leave it off a resume and just say that I'm a trustee?
Sincerely,
