    Resume Term
Click For Summary
The discussion centers on finding an appropriate term for a resume that encapsulates industries focused on education, healthcare, and not-for-profit sectors aimed at improving societal well-being.

Suggestions for terminology include "philanthropic," "NGO," and terms like "humanitarianism," "social conscience," and "altruism." However, there is concern that these terms may not be widely recognized as industry labels by recruiters. The need for a term that conveys a commitment to positive impact while being easily understood in a professional context is emphasized.
