1 What goes in my interests section? 

This section enables you to identify things that really interest or motivate 

you. It may also indicate what your values are, aspects of your personality 

and the transferable skills you have developed. It is better to include one 

or two things which you are really involved with and can describe fully, 

rather than to give a long list such as “reading, squash, cricket, dancing, 

“While relevant experience is always viewed positively, don’t be put 

off applying if you don’t have this. Think about the skills you’ve 

developed through other work experience and extra-curricular 

responsibilities and be explicit about these skills in your CV.”
