I’m involved with a firm initiative that’s very far removed from core business and I love doing it. I would do it even if it wasn’t required, and I might continue once I leave (think volunteering with an org through Deloitte). When writing a resume, is it too much to stretch the truth and put that down as an activity outside of work?

Can't you just put it down as an 'activity'?

Why not put it down as part of work?

To the above two questions I guess I don’t want it to seem that I do everything through work lol. But I guess that works too

Oh in this case, go for it. No one will bat an eye

Volunteering with an external organization, no, not too much of a stretch.

It’s not the worst thing to put it under your Deloitte experience, either, if there’s some sort of impact you’re also having on the firm as a whole. Depends on what you want to highlight.

You could list it as an extracurricular in your “additional Info” at the base of your resume. Or have it has a segment of your Deloitte resume. I imagine it’d be weirder to be asked about it and then you reveal via interview it was thru Deloitte

Question for the ladies out there: looking to get my wife a nice bag, she mentioned she wanted something large to hold her everyday things. I understand the LV tote looking back is a popular one, can y’all recommend anything else that’s similar? I see a ton of women out there with the typical LV tote bag but I don’t wanna get her something “basic.” Thanks

Next time, I won’t hesitate. I’ll be ready next time.
