What do Toastmasters roles do for hiring?

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

Is it helpful to include Toastmasters on your resume? Do HR people care about that? If so, what should you include? The awards you've achieved? The roles and jobs (e.g., club president) you had?

Do HR people consider Toastmasters roles like area governor or division governor to be leadership experience?

Anything else worth mentioning about Toastmasters from a HR perspective?

If you apply for href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/leadership">leadership roles, then any kind of href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/leadership">leadership href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/experience">experience is a plus.

If non-professional href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/leadership">leadership href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/experience">experience like Toastmasters or href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/sports">sports clubs are your only href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/leadership">leadership href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/experience">experience, you may want to include a href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/sentence">sentence or two about how you think that specific href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/experience">experience will apply to the job you apply for.

Personally, I have never heard of Toastmasters, but they have a professional looking website and (at least in my language) a funny name, so it's something to make you stand out from the other CVs in a positive way.

I'd say include it. Maybe HR will find it positive, I cannot think of an instance where they'd see it negative. There's little risk and a potential gain.
