Good luck!

Well the yard sale is not volunteer so that's why I'm told it's too personal. Our landlords let us do yard sales annually. I do feel like it's a better example for me than the gift wrapping but yet it doesn't seem to count as much as gift wrapping because I'm just selling my mom and I's stuff. The volunteer ventures I've had I've all done during school so I wasn't sure about putting them on there. I don't know if they'd be impressed by it because they'd look at it and think "you just did that for school credit". I really am not good with resumes even when trying to google them so what happened is my coach was the one that had fixed up my resume recently but she did not put these on there. I told her about it a few times. She said the yard sale was too personal. I don't know why she didn't put the gift wrap because she didn't indicate it was a bad example. Maybe she forgot.
