It all depends on how you define "jobless"...
I am currently unemployed, yet I still work. I am volunteering at the United Way and other similar organisations for positions they need filled. Now, I am a computer literacy teacher, 5th grade mathematics program helper, and also providing computer work for a non-profit.
I also am constantly filling out applications for positions which I am way overqualified (fast food and retail). I am receiving unemployment, and who knows when I'll actually obtain a job. But I know this: my current volunteer work is being listed as current jobs. Is this dishonest? Perhaps... But it is work regardless.
- civilian 16y agoAre you making it clear on your resume that they are volunteer positions? If you do that then I think you're fine. I have a two volunteer/unpaid work experience items on my resume, and I haven't had any negative feedback.
- scdc 16y agocall it what is, "Current Work", and no it's not dishonest. You're smart to keep working, even if not gainfully employed.
- Klinky 16y agoYou need to make it clear this is something that is volunteer work. You don't want potential employers calling and asking about you and they say "We don't have an employee named xyz", red flags.
