Does anyone know how we should be labeling the "Status" portion of our activities? I'm not really sure how to categorize any community service/tutoring activities/some group I was part of in undergrad given that the options are "Full-Time", "Part-Time", "Temporary" and "Per Diem".
I interpreted it as its up to your own judgement. So if I was spending 30 hours or more in an activity, whether it be work or volunteering, research, etc. then I would call it full-time. Anything less would be part time. If I came in to fill in for someone who was on maternity leave or something of that sort, then it would be temporary position. Per diem would be if you have no defined/fixed schedule and you just came in or were called into work as the scheduler saw fit.
So here are my examples:
Working as an EMT: I did about 60 hours a week --> Full-time.
Scribing: Per-diem as I am given a calendar for the month, I then select the days I'm available to work (ex. I'm free Mondays, Wednesdays, Saturdays), then the scheduler schedules me in some of those days I marked as available (ex. I'm scheduled to work the Mondays and Saturdays of weeks 1 and 3, and Wednesdays of week 2 for the month of May).
Research, Volunteering, other jobs: These were all usually part-time. Research I would usually come in 3 days a week for a couple of hours each day to do the task I needed to do. Volunteering I would come in 2 days a week for 3 hours a day. Other student-jobs or club activities I would come in some days here and there for a few hours.
I would think that as long as your explanations/descriptions of your activities and hours are reasonable enough they won't care too much.
