Application Form Help

    Hoping someone can give me a few hints with this. I'm filling out an application form for an employment programme and there is quite a big box that says:

    Additional Experience
    Please provide information you wish to offer in support of your application.

    Now I have already filled in information about my career aspirations and how the programme will help me meet them and what I will be able to contribute to the company as well as educational info, previous employment relevant to it and not as well as work placements and voluntary work.

    So what do you think they are looking for in the Additional Experience box? It is by far the biggest box so I assume I need to write something. I was going to expand on my qualifications and my thesis and more on my interests but what else?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    These boxes can be tricky. Do you have any additional school/college/sports awards that can demonstrate teamwork, leadership and so on? Have you travelled? If so what have you learned? Did you plan and organise it yourself? If I was you I'd be looking for examples for cases of transferable skills. Good luck!
