Message: <blockquote data-quote="Manifesting" data-source="post: 38435" data-attributes="member: 7645">Hey!I submitted a vacation scheme application and I didn't find a section either to specifically detail my extracurriculars and achievements. Instead, you can sprinkle in these throughout the essay questions, which thankfully have a limit of 300 words and not the standard 250.In my application, I used part of the "why HSF" question to speak about my legal volunteer work as a way to demonstrate interest in the firm's pro bono practice. I used the "skills, qualities and attributes" question to speak about how taking leadership roles in societies helped build relevant skills for HSF. And I used the "introduce us to a topic" question to showcase my personality and one of my interests. I wanted to link that to an extracurricular I did but ended up not including it, but that is something I hope to talk about in an interview, (fingers crossed) if it happens.I personally didn't include society work as work experience but I definitely think that you could. (Especially since the Open Day application presumably doesn't have all these essay questions.) I think there is a limit of 10 work experience entries, so you do have the space. Remember to really flesh out things in the work experience space. Write in prose and link everything back to what HSF looks for because they explicitly ask for this.</blockquote>
