What sorts of things do you put on your CV under "leadership"?

Asked by evegrimm (3714points) September 9th, 2009

I know a lot of jobs and/or scholarships look for applicants that have leadership skills or potential.

But what do you do when you haven’t been in a position of “leadership”?

For instance, during HS, although I wanted to be part of Band Council, it was a popularity contest, and I was far and away the least popular kid. (Or I was really good at being invisible.)

And both of my jobs were entry-level, and I didn’t stay long enough to move up to a position of leadership (or the next higher position wasn’t a leadership position, just a higher wage).

So what kinds of things do you put down on your resume if you don’t have the sorts of leadership experience employers (etc.) are looking for?
