[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 14231, member: 2672"] Agree with Jaysen on this. To add what he has said, it is sometimes the things that you think are not that extra-ordinary that actually are. For me the type of things I would expect (or maybe hope) to see in this section are: - Were you promoted in that job in retail/in a pub? Or did you win that "employee of the month" award? - Have you overcome a massive fear by chucking yourself into something (like a bungee jump)? - Did you teach yourself something - e.g. a language, musical instrument, art etc (ie you didn't take lessons, you completely taught yourself)? - Have you cared for a family member whilst juggling academic or work commitments? - Have you gone against the grain - everyone told you that you couldn't do something, but you went and did it anyway Mine would be as simple as explaining how I got my work ethic - I have worked from the age of 12 and done some weird any wonderful jobs along the way that my application wouldn't necessarily show. I'd use a section like this to highlight that crazy uniqueness, even if the jobs themselves seem far more "ordinary" to people [/QUOTE]
