I’ve been updating my resume and I’m unsure about including certain volunteer experiences. For government jobs, is it better to have a more concise resume or one that’s detailed?

It can be good to include volunteer work, but not to go on at too great a length about it. If you can include a concise section that cites some of it, that's probably the best approach. You might refer to the volunteer work in your cover letter in a succinct fashion, especially if you feel it speaks to your character, or would tell someone about what you value.

I'm in the final round of interviews for two internal positions - both vertical. One has FTE's (my first such experience) and the other a much broader scope vs my current role

I had interviewed externally for a role on par w the internal roles, at a smaller and less established company. They confirmed +20% was in their range

How do I push back on my company if they offer less than that, if I do want one of those roles? Without a pay scale, what is the best way to approach?

If I get a referral from someone and I apply, then can I still reach out to a recruiter on LinkedIn expressing interest in the role? And do I let them know that I already applied?

My company contracts a web developer, we have a set amount of hours for the quarter and pay over if more work is needed.

We have another company taking over in January, but I still have some pretty important dev needs until then and I can’t get him to do a thing. I truly try to give him all he needs.
