I am writing an application for a firm with an 'anything else you want to add' section.

I would value ideas here of how to stand out in this section. Of course, I will mention aspects of myself I haven't been able to fit into other areas of my application. But are there other tips/strategies on how to best approach and structure this Q?

Thank you

Firstly, you don’t have to use this question if you don’t want to. Many candidate will have presented what they want/need to in the other sections.

I would only use it if there is a question you feel needed to be asked of you, rather than where you couldn’t put content you wanted to put in but couldn’t fit into other sections.
