While I think some of this is little obvious, I think this is good information for a lot of people, especially at lower elvels of theatre or even those looking to apply to college. A lot of people forget that they have more experience than they think; volunteering is especially one of those areas that I think people ignore because they are not sure where to put it. Making employers or institutions understand that you do know what you're doing and you do have real world experiences are to me usually the make it or break it thing in terms of whether or not you get the position. I do think internships are obvious, so many people simply do internships to put them on a resume, but accomplishments is something I did not think about. The point that you should include these as well as responsibilities could definitely make a difference in how an employer views an application. This could definitely be the difference between presenting summer work as a boring retail job or a retail job in which you started a program for something or made a suggestion to the company that was actually put into place a few months after.
