What have you done recently outside of work that made you proud and/or challenged you?

Job interview question today.

Completly out of the blue. I could only think of starting ballet lessons because I've always wanted to but never did as a child (I didnt say it was last year and gave up 6 months later).

The follow up question was "what skilks will that bring to the team?". Um. I can stand on extra high tippy toes to reach the books on the top shelf now? I said something about having to learn quickly and thinking about how lots of different aspects all work together or some such nonsense.

So what have YOU done and how does it help your workplace?

I’m a trustee of a charity and was made Chair about 3 years ago. Before that I was a school governor. These are useful reference points for this type of interview question

Same as other poster- also a Community Councillor and I help in the Santa parade which is magical
