Application form Help

milk

Hi applying for jobs at the moment and was wondering if anyone can help wth ideas of what to put in the 'other information' section of forms. I've had a go but seem to waffle on about what I get up to in my spare time and skills I learnt at uni but not sure I'm wording it right.

Is there a website with a template for this kind of thing?

Any help will be gratefully received, Thanks

I don't know about templates, but as an employer I'd be interested to hear of any hobbies you have that involve

teamwork
attention to detail
high level of focus
focussed socialising (ie not pubs or nightclubs!)
competitive sport

because in my line of work those interests are an indicator of character traits I am looking for, and all I want is a headline sentence or two mentioning them.

So...

I am an active member of the Inkpots volleyball team, which is competing in the Winkleworth league this year for the first time. I have an active interest in desktop publishing and have designed and produced several leaflets about rare stamps, which I collect. Other interests include cooking and dance workshops.

That's enough...we don't want reams.

I agree on the above but would also say that it does very much depend on what other questions the form has already asked... I have seen forms that dont ask about courses/ qualifications other than "school" in which case these also would need to go into this area.
