Tell us about your involvement in the community.

Many interviewers will choose one candidate over another because of their volunteer experience. They feel that it shows strong character and selflessness - all qualities that make an excellent resident. Talk to the interviewer about your willingness to give back to your community in some form of volunteerism. If you do not have formal volunteer experience, you can draw on things you do in your spare time to assist friends, family, or even your current employer.
