Peer Reviewing Essays on CollegeVine and ResumeAnswered
Hello!
Recently, I have been doing a lot of essay reviews on here and I was wondering if there was a way I could put my work here on a resume?
Thanks!

Essay review is really not a job but a form of volunteering time to community service (that community being an online community of peer high school students). So if you want to categorize it like X hours of community service, I think that would be fine. Since 1 essay review = 1 hour of time, just be careful that someone might question your hours if you put down like 100 or 250 hours of essay review. Secondarily, it's unsupervised volunteerism like going around the neighborhood and picking up trash. You don't have a college vine boss to vouch that you are doing great job or write you a recommendation so don't treat it as a job because someone may call you out on it.
Good luck.
