Having no extracurriculars?

Hey all,

I am a couple of years out of university, with a (demanding!) full-time job on a consulting grad scheme while also studying part-time for exams. Because I also try to have a social life when I can, I really do no extracurriculars apart from a volunteering day here and there through work, so I'm really struggling to answer application questions related to these. When at university I held society and charity positions, but that was almost four years ago now so doesn't seem relevant - is anyone else is a similar position?

You use your uni examples where appropriate - they are fine to use. It basically shows you could balance your degree and extra curriculars.

feel free to mention anything you do in work that is outside of your day job (eg member of an internal network, CSR activities, fundraising, getting involved in things like graduate recruitment).
