The only thing i really did was horseriding and things like reading and swimming but only recreational like
i just talked about what books i'd read and how recreational things helped me to relax etc
but yeh basically my hobbies were pretty limited but i still managed to get 2 offers (eventually) if you're lucky enough to get an interview then just work really hard so you can blow them away!

i'd only applied, not got a placement during intevriew time and they didnt ask about it at all.... i was pretty glad they didnt tho, my reason for going was that it seemed like a good idea at the time :p:
All I had was digital art on photoshop, reading, writing, and training my dog in competition obedience and flyball. I also had a part time job, so that might have helped :smile:
