<p>How can I differentiate the two? I'm asking because I have some extracurriculars that could fit into both categories.</p>
<p>Basically, does "job experience" mean that you have to receive a paycheck?</p>
<p>And does serving on the board of nonprofit/advocacy groups count as volunteer work or job experience? I'm not getting any pay, but I'm gaining hands-on learning that could later apply in a job.</p>
<p>Also, how about aiding a college professor with various projects (not related to the classroom)? I mean, it's kind of an unofficial research position/internship, so does that fall under job experience?</p>
<p>Thanks all.</p>
