If that’s the only hiccup then you should have no problem.

There are quite a few who don't make it to a dream job -- and it's not all luck.

Working in management, volunteering, academics -- that's what sets applicants apart. Not hanging out in the left seat year after year after year doing nothing else.

It’s all just HR mumbo jumbo and make-me-feel-good corporate branding.

While true, it’s their game. You either play or you don’t. If you choose the latter you waste a lot of your income and seniority potential.

It's a way of narrowing the playing field.

I say wear your gel and backpack but know your stuff, have a clear head, be present, serve the customer, and be the absolute best professional you can be.

And sadly, I’ve know more than a few that;
1) Lied about their volunteer time, or simply overplayed what they listed as volunteer work.
2) Stopped volunteering once they got the job, and have no shame in admitting it.
