Extracurricular activities
Other qualifications

If you have honours you can add them in your resume. But you should only put activities which show particular skills such as leadership, communication skills and everything which is related to the job you are searching for.

IN THIS SECTION:

The Junior Entreprise The Gala Other activities

Your activities must show that you have experience (this way of telling is far more efficient than simply writing "good communication skills").

You can also give specific skills that could complete a previous section.

Another title for this section could have been "Personal interest", "Honours and activities" or "Interests and leisure activities".
If you have a lot of extracurricular activities and personal interest, you could also cut this part in two.

A short example:

Besides computer science, I enjoy travelling, listening to classical music, reading and cooking.

The next parts are some examples for two specific activities.
