[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 42759, member: 2672"] no - nothing specific will be on their agenda in terms of activities. They will just be looking for people who have sought opportunities beyond their degree and work experience. It really doesn’t matter what it is - could be Sport, arts, politics, writing, student journalism, social activism, volunteering, student support, education (eg supporting other people’s education not your own), Positions of responsibility is anything where you actively take up an active role. So just being a member of a society or playing for a sports team is an extra curricular, while a position of responsibility would be if you sat on the committee, and had additional responsibilities in a role like treasurer or social secretary. Completely up to you on how you structure it - you could easily structure it in the reverse order and it could still make sense. Just make sure you cover all three sections appropriately. Tips: [LIST] [*]Ensure you paragraph it well. [*]Nothing is off limits - don’t fall into the trap of just telling me the things you think I want to hear. The other things are often more interesting [*]Ensure there is evidence of team work in there somewhere. If all your pursuits are solo ones, then ensure team work is emphasised elsewhere in the application [*]Put context in your descriptions - explain things using numbers and other forms of descriptors to shows how heavy the commitment was [*]Show your impact in PoR - don’t focus on just what you did (you might not have a lot of word count to do this anyway), focus on what was achieved because you were in the role.
