Hey @Unknowncabbage ,
Yes, absolutely. You can definitely mention your role as a committee member, but be mindful of how you structure your response. Simply stating that you're a committee member shows demonstrated interest, but it might not effectively convey a specific achievement or interest.
A more impactful response would focus on a particular event you organized and the success of that event, which can itself be viewed as an achievement. For example, if you organized a charity gala as a committee member, you could discuss how you coordinated the venue, secured guest speakers, and managed the budget. You might highlight the outcome, such as raising over £1000 for a local charity, which showcases your event management skills and commitment to community service.
Alternatively, you could state that event management is an area of interest for you and provide details on a specific example. For instance, you could mention your experience organizing a series of workshops for aspiring event planners, where you taught skills like marketing and logistics. You might share the success of these workshops, such as the positive feedback received from participants and how it inspired them to pursue careers in event management.
Also, using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) can help you frame your achievements and interests effectively. This will help you provide a clear narrative.
Hope this helps!
