Career Corner: Ask a Recruiter

Job Searching during a Presidential Election
|
|
|
We are less than 3 months away from the 2024 US Presidential Election, and It’s not uncommon for those of us working in the social impact sector to get involved mobilizing voters and/or volunteering for candidates/policy issues.
In my recruiting days, I loved seeing applicants list their volunteer work. To me (and my employers), volunteer work demonstrated a commitment to service and potentially showcased skills that weren’t part of a candidate’s paid professional experience. While listing political volunteer work can be a strategic move on a resume, LinkedIn profile, or in interview answers, it’s important to exercise caution given the polarization which exists in elections.
- Create a separate section on your resume for volunteer work. If the amount of work you’ve done for a campaign, cause, or party is substantial (i.e. over a period of weeks or months, not just once or twice), include it here!
- Define and quantify your political volunteer work. For example, a phone banker could share the number of calls made or number of other volunteers they recruited and trained. A canvasser could share the number of doors they knocked on and literature they distributed. A fundraiser could share the actions they took and the amount of dollars raised.
- Before listing the name of a candidate or party you’re supporting on your resume, consider the risk/reward and your audience. If you are applying for a think tank with a nonpartisan ethos, a state agency that must be bipartisan, an organization that is primarily funded through a funder with a political bent, consider that as well. We often urge our applicants to check out funding sources or partnerships as part of their interview prep and research. If you’re unsure, you can simply refer to your work with “a political campaign” instead of naming a candidate directly. If your volunteer work is in support of a particularly sensitive or relevant local topic, but of incredible personal value to you that you'd want your employer to know about or be in support of, including it in your resume is one clear way to communicate that.
Don’t assume everyone in your industry votes like you! This may seem obvious, but there is political diversity at every workplace and sector. Especially in a job search, refrain from making small talk about the election, candidates, or parties even if you love chatting about those topics in your personal life.
