Where should this go on my resume?

[Double J]

Hi everyone,

 

I'll be graduating from college in December, so I'm already polishing my resume in advance.

 

In July, I took on a "job" as a product review writer for a website that specializes in reviewing home gear and appliances. So far, I only have one article posted there, but I hope to have at least three by the time I graduate. The website, by the way, is a start-up venture and is ad supported.

 

My question is this: should I put this "job" under the work experience section on my resume? I don't get paid for it, but I think it'd benefit me in the sense that I could show employers my writing samples. (My field will consist of lots of writing so I think they'd want to see samples anyhow.)

 

If not under the work experience section, where would I tack this onto?

 

Thanks.

If it's unpaid and you have only done one article at the moment, I'd probably just put it under work experience, personally. Mine has a section for paid employment - proper jobs, and a section for 'work experience' where I haven't been paid

What kind of job are you looking for? That would change how I dealt with this?

 

Second, what about changing the "work experience" section to one just titled "experience." You are not and will not be expected to have a lot of xperience work or otherwise, but including it should not be a bad thing.

I think you can still call it "work experience", it's like an internship where you're not getting paid for it.
