Hi,
Most of you guys probably don’t remember me but I was super active on wikiHow about a year and a half ago. It was during this time that I was learning the ropes of highschool and wikiHow was a big part of my life. I felt really strongly about a lot of social issues which led me to start 3 articles relating to topics I was passionate about and I won rising star awards on all 3 of them. Needless to say, life slapped me in the face for a good while and I was unable to keep contributing as I’d liked to (blah blah loss a bunch of personal stuff I’m not gonna get into). I wanted to ask if it was okay with you guys if I listed some of my accomplishments on this site in my resume for when I apply to college soon. My articles have obviously been edited by several other people so I don’t know what/if there even is a procedure regarding this but I just don’t wanna do anything that may be a little bit morally dubious on my application. I love this community and it has meant a lot to me over the years and it would mean the world to me if I could reflect that in my college application:slight_smile:

Thanks for reading and sorry for the long paragraph LOL

I’m going to college in a few years too, and I’ve always wondered if it’s fine to include wikiHow (which counts as volunteering work) in college apps. Pretty sure it’s fine- plus, wikiHow has influenced us a lot and broadened our life experiences.

I thought about going to college when I’m old enough, but I decided not to, I want to become a racehorse trainer and I want to start young.Edit: I may have to go to college for a degree, but I hope not.

You are absolutely free to mention your volunteer wikiHow experience in your college applications and job resumes, and I definitely encourage people to do so! I did it when I applied for college and jobs, and wikiHow is listed as volunteer experience in my resume and LinkedIn profile.

Good luck!
