The interviewer asks this question as they would like to learn more about you as a person. While you cannot share everything about your personal life and accomplishments on your CV, there must be something you are proud of that you would like to tell the interviewer. If possible, share something about yourself that shows the interviewer you would be a good fit for their company and the dementia care specialist role. For example, if you share that you volunteer for a non-profit that raises awareness about dementia and other cognitive disorders, the interviewer will see that you are kind, dedicated, and compassionate, all essential qualities for healthcare professionals to possess.

"Something I enjoy doing that is not on my CV is how I volunteer with an NGO that helps families with children who have childhood dementia. I have taken on a managerial role, organizing and producing fundraising events. In the past three years in this role, I have helped raise over eleven million dollars with my strategic marketing plan. The money is used for teams of physicians, nurses, and dementia care specialists to assist the families that need help, and the children are offered free care and treatment. In addition to my managerial role, I also volunteer my services as a dementia care specialist."
