What's the difference between an intern or volunteer working 6 months and an employee working 6 months at a company? The only difference is money, not experience.
Down playing your work experience as an Intern or Volunteer is an injustice to your accomplishments. So eliminate the word "Intern" or "Volunteer" from your resume. Even if you received no or very little pay as an intern/volunteer, it was still a Job. You did the same exact tasks as someone who was a paid staff person. So why not give yourself FULL CREDIT for your accomplishments.
On your resume, replace "Intern" or "Volunteer" with the actual job title your were filling. This positions you better and increases your chances of getting more interviews and possibly a higher starting salary.
Congratulations!! You just leveled the playing field.
This small adjustment upgrades your resume against All competition, especially those who put "Intern" on their resume. Your resume now says, "I have even more experience to offer your company".
Cheers!!
