Hi everyone!
I have a question that is specific to volunteers.
Do you think listing your Volunteer Fire Company affiliation is a good idea for your "civilian" resume?
I work in IT and am contemplating a new gig, my first job switch since joining the fire service (yeah I am still a probie, but pretty active in my company).
While most people would consider volunteer firefighting to be a noble undertaking, I am also aware that a prospective employer might consider it something that distracts from what they are looking for. Or worse, the image of the stereotypical gung ho yahoo might come to mind...
I tried searching the threads for a similar question and didn't see one. Thanks in advance for your input!
