[QUOTE="NatashaS98, post: 121388, member: 25015"] Hi [USER=17277]@confusedlawstudent[/USER] Thanks for this question - I can definitely resonate with your point about the resilience you built during your year abroad in the middle of the pandemic. My year abroad too was during the pandemic! 😅 (Solidarity there!) I would definitely say it’s worthwhile speaking about your year abroad experience during the pandemic - this question is less concerned with which activities/experiences you mention and more with what skills you build through those activities and experiences. I myself at interview would often talk about my year abroad as a time I illustrated resilience! So long as you clearly articulate how this experience built your skillset, this is the most important thing. Re. your experiences as part of the chess society and orchestra - these are definitely relevant too. You just have to clearly demonstrate what your responsibilities were and how you developed your skillset through your responsibilities. Firms will be interested in these experiences - they are looking for well-rounded people who will be interesting to work with too ☺️ So definitely - all the above is relevant. Just focus on articulating clearly how you demonstrated and developed your skills through these activities and experiences. [/QUOTE]
