Ask HN: How to say “I continued working for free” in your resume?

from the ask-hn dept.

I was holding down 2 part-time jobs at the same location, one of which was a sysadmin position.Once a full-time sysadmin was found, I handed over that position but continued to work (unpaid) to assist in the transition and, later on, to help with high workloads and major outages.In total, I did paid work for about 8 months, and unpaid work on the side for 2.5 years.How do you put that down in...
