    Hi everyone,

    I'm doing an application where the question is:

    Please highlight roles and positions of responsibility; this can include volunteering, employment, work experience, sports teams, interests and society positions. Please include what you have gained from each experience. (150 words)

    I've recently started a new position but as it's so recent, I haven't gained anything substantial from it yet.

    Is my new position worth mentioning still, and if so, how?

    My initial idea was to just include it and say what I hope to gain from the position (i.e. teamwork etc) but that's not technically answering the question.

    What do you think!?

    Thanks!

    Include it but don’t go into detail. In a short sentence or two explain the role and that you look forward to developing your skills through the responsibilities you will have within it
