habromania Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Hm, what about putting a language I've been learning since high school (spanish)? Took a few intro courses in high school, went abroad to try and refine it, and I've taken a few casual lessons/chat with fluent friends outside of school. My reading comprehension is actually quite good, although I'm too shy to speak it properly...would this be a valid entry for "other"? Would it be too much if I also added my mother tongue (self taught alphabets, too) under "other"? Edit: Also, I did get the bilingual certificate in high school. Should I put my high school education and bilingual certificate as separate entries, or only include the certificate under "awards"? Seems redundant to include both.

TheApiarist Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Does anyone know if it's appropriate to include an activity that I've started before the age of 16 and which lasted until I was about 18? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambi Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Yes, show the date you started even though it is before age 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bilingual certificate is not an award but is part of your formal education. You could put Spanish under other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't included any short-term volunteering except for two things that I just started earlier this year (they are both ongoing). I did include a few awards I received when I graduated high school, but I feel like it's a good mix of things. Just wondering if my ABS will get a side-eye since I filled all the spots. Don't worry if you fill up all 48. There's a reason why they have 48 if you need 48 entries you need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
