Written Questions

Write about what you actually did, not what you generally do. Include the decision you made and the result. "I helped organise events" tells us nothing. "Sign-ups had stalled at 20, so I rewrote the event post and personally messaged 30 people, and we finished with 75 in the room" tells us everything. Everything you write here can come up at interview, so keep it honest. For more on how to make your application stand out, read the helpful information.
