How good does 250 hours of volunteering at a thrift shop look at a job application

Applying to College

<p>I’ve been volunteering at a thrift shop with special needs kids who work there. How good will this look on an application</p>

<p>obviously not good at all if you’re worrying a ton about its effectiveness on a college app</p>

<p>if its important to you, helps other people, you would do it without any regard to what colleges think, then that’s a good sign</p>

<p>No volunteer hours are required of any college. Nor will hours per se, give you an advantage. It’s a myth.</p>

<p>By all means, list them. But don’t expect anyone to note them besides a 0.3 second glance.</p>

<p>You put *job application *in the title of this thread. You really mean job application?</p>

<p>If you do, then that’s good. Volunteer experience counts as work experience. Work experience is helpful when you’re applying for your next job.</p>

<p>If you meant college application, then what the others have said about the importance of volunteer hours for college applications is true.</p>

<p>Depends on how many dollars you have in your pocket.</p>
