I found out from my bishop yesterday that the Ward Employment Specialists in my ward have appreciated the help I've provided in editing resumes enough that they have asked multiple times for me to be called as a welfare missionary. In fact, just yesterday, the bishop had to tell them "no" twice.
The way he explained it to me is that I'm already fulfilling that need because I have the skills and I offered to help; I don't need a third calling to continue to do what I'm already doing. Plus, by it being something for which I volunteer and not an official calling, I have a bit more flexibility on when I work on the resumes. That's not to say that I put them off, just that I don't have to feel guilty for not getting to them right away.
Even so, I'm acting like I have another calling, even if it isn't on the records.
