The interviewers 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 share. If possible, share something about yourself that shows the interviewers you would be a good fit for the residency program. For example, if you share that you compete in bodybuilding competitions, the interviewers will see that you are dedicated and diligent, both essential qualities for residents to possess.

"Something I am proud of that is not on my resume is how I volunteer with an NGO that helps communities in underdeveloped countries who suffer from eye disease. I have taken on a managerial role and organize and produce fundraising events. In the past three years in this role, I have helped raise over three million dollars with my strategic marketing plan. The money is used for teams of physicians and nurses to go to the communities that need help, and the citizens are offered free care and treatment. After my residency, I will be a part of the team that goes and provides surgical care, which I am really looking forward to."
