For example: Habitat for Humanity, Phoenix, AZ (Volunteer) Mar 2008-Jun 2008 - Provided carpentry services and project management skills, working with teams of 4-10 people to build 9 houses in the Phoenix, AZ area Updating your education would go under the Education section. You can also include any highly relevant seminars, workshops, etc. I hope this helps! David Hi James,
