Hi all,

I'm getting myself knotted up over Trowers' last question: "Give us as wide an insight into you as possible without referring to anything you have already mentioned in this application"

Do you think this means without repeating myself (i.e. if already mentioned a particular achievement then don't mention it again) or do you think it means not referring to anything mentioned in the application, even if I do so in a different light? For example, I want to explain more broadly how my experiences show my character but technically I've mentioned my experiences in the work experience section and would, therefore, be referring to something already mentioned.

Given my confusion, I would appreciate your input on what you think this question is trying to get at! I personally think it does want to know about things not mentioned elsewhere, like my interest in football etc. But equally, it wants to know about me, and part of me is things I've mentioned elsewhere in the application!

Thanks in advance for any input.
