This booklet was created to help women develop resumes and complete employment applications in order to translate their volunteer experiences into employment credentials. It can also serve as a guide to help employers evaluate a volunteer's experience. Procedures for evaluating volunteer experience are outlined following an introduction. Presented next are guidelines to assist employers and volunteers in making volunteerism work for them. Three case histories of women who succeeded in translating volunteer skills into employment credentials are presented. Concluding the guide are a list of additional resources, general Maryland resources, a list of local commissions for women and displaced homemaker centers in Maryland, and a list of the members of the Maryland Commission for Women.
