[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 219768, member: 42112"] No problem at all! :) I would include those if you feel they are important to your profile as a candidate - e.g. they are substantive experiences or provided you with transferable skills. For example, I always used to include my time volunteering at a charity shop in my work experience section, as this felt similar to the formal structure of a part-time job. I also included my committee positions in university societies, as these were also more structured - however, I didn't include other extra-curriculars that I participated in just for fun or short-term volunteering projects. If you can write about the role itself, the main responsibilities that you had, and any transferable skills (if relevant), I would include it in the work experience section (even if there is some repetition). However, if you feel you are simply going to be reciting the experience itself when you have already discussed it in an application question, it might be more beneficial to leave it out. I hope that answers your question! :) [/QUOTE]
