"Leadership Experience" (Recruitment Registration)

[kcprin]

I'm filling out the online Recruitment Registration form for Mizzou and they have fields for "Leadership Experience" and "Volunteer Experience."

For Leadership Experience, what should I list - all the clubs/activities I was involved in in high school or only the ones I held officer positions in?

Sorry if these are stupid questions, I don't want to mess this up!

For Leadership Experience just list the offices or committee chairs you've held. Membership in activities/organizations would go under Activities/Honors or whatever they have along those lines.

As for Volunteer Experience, list the organization and the task, such as: Community Food Bank - canned goods drive, St Paul's Church - Habitat House worker, etc.

I'm late on this, but don't worry too much about it—short of leaving it completely blank or writing a structured 5 pgph essay (HAPPENED), you can't mess it up. Just make sure if an org is unique to your high school or community, you include a few choice words explaining what it is.

Also, don't feel the need to stretch out your answers to make them longer to fill the space. There are a lot of those things, so when groups go through them they are usually just scanning for keywords—"homecoming," "captain," "blood drive," etc. You may as well be concise.

Eta: I'm sure you've already filled that out by now, but I'm a Mizzou alumna who helps with recruitment, so I feel like I may as well leave the answer up.
