[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 226354, member: 42112"] Hi! Yes, you can absolutely use that additional information section to clarify both areas - it's there for anything you feel hasn't been captured anywhere else in the form. If the visa question only gives a Yes / No response with no space to expand, it's perfectly reasonable to briefly explain your visa situation here (e.g. that you currently hold a visa suitable for a Vacation Scheme but would require sponsorship for a Training Contract). It's usually best to communicate this sort of information, as it provides the graduate recruitment team some context and clarity. You could structure it as: [LIST=1] [*][B]Visa clarification:[/B] a short sentence or two explaining your current visa status and what it covers [*][B]Extracurricular activities or anything else you'd like to highlight: [/B]this allows you to show a fuller picture of your experience and interests (although I'd still keep this brief) [/LIST] As long as it is concise, relevant, and clearly organised, it won't look out of place - that section is designed exactly for details like this! I hope that assists! :) [/QUOTE]
