Question 1:
a) Please indicate what attracted you to this post?
What attracted me most about the position of a Resident Assistant was the opportunity to help other students with the difficulties of university life which I experienced myself.

I enjoy taking initiatives and always try to motivate myself and the people around me. Due to my well-developed organisational, time-planning, graphical-design and advertising abilities, events will be successful, well targeted and entertaining for all residents and my role model figure will encourage their academic and professional development.

b) What skills and experiences do you want to gain from this position?

It will give me the opportunity to be a part of a team which will introduce students from different backgrounds to their new common life – that is university life. That will allow me to experience diversity and broaden my understanding of different cultures. Moreover, I believe this post would be an outstanding addition to my CV and that my future employers would acknowledge it, as it will make me stand
