Hello all,
How would you list your undergraduate research assistantships on LinkedIn? Since these are usually unpaid positions, would you put them under work experience or volunteer positions?

Thanks and best of luck to everyone in the hunt this application season.

I consider unpaid community and applied work as volunteer experience, and I consider unpaid research work as a form of internship, which I list alongside my paid job experience.

I've always listed mine under experience. After all paid or unpaid, it is experience toward my future career goals.
