Hey everyone, I have a question.
My college allowed me to do part of my internship year as an observership in the US.
Can I include that in my volunteer experience section?

wow thats really confusing....
because most people say its volunteer experience
I was not paid or anything. And it was an observership.
So should I put it as a work experience?

It's so simple. If you were NOT paid, it is NOT work. Don't complicate things.

When you put it in your CAF, make sure you give comprehensive description of your activities... PDs will decide on their own if your worked or volunteered.

So in the end, I think no matter how I put, it really does not matter to much. Right Justice?
The PD will read the description of what I did and make a decision based on that.
Thanks everyone
I really appreciate that you all give prompt replies
