[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 125826, member: 2672"] You can use examples from your time at university. They basically want to see you kept yourself busy and sought responsibilities/commitments, and they know that does become more difficult once you are working (compared to uni). Extracurriculars can run into the work place though. For instance, people sometimes are involved in things outside of their contracted job (CSR initiatives, fundraising, being part of employee network groups, representing the organisation internally/externally). Some people may also be involved in their local community - and if so that can be referenced as well. With your hobbies and interests, one of the things I try to suggest focusing on so what you are learning - rather than hobbies you just do quite passively, are there any that you are dedicating learning to so to get better at it? Or are there any hobbies that other people rely on you for? You can still reference things like cooking/travel/gym, but just try to frame it more as to what you gain from those hobbies (even if it’s just the ability to chill out). [/QUOTE]
