Hi,
Writing my essay and trying to show the best side of myself, I would like to know what you say about your personal life. I know it is very appreciated to be a chess master, a permanent member of a charity organisation etc.
In my case, I don't have such profile. I don't do sport(only during hollidays : scuba diving, sailing...), and don't have social activities(only bars, diners etc.) and don't have reasons to justify this lack of commitment. I work but could do something besides.
Some of the factors are maybe that I'm a bit lazy, that I have a long-distance relationship(every week-ends, we have to travel by train/car) for 4 years now, that I moved pretty much for my work . Don't have many other reasons.
On the other hand, I traveled a lot and have much intercultural experience + languages.
Concerning you, are you honest or do you amplify/create stories about your success outside work? When I read this forum, I have the feeling that everyone here is very active, passionate, generous...
