Side projects

Outside of your work or study, under what circumstances will you commit time and effort to contribute towards a group or community project (e.g. amateur film making, political initiative, planning a start-up, helping out in local schools)?

[5 being most likelly]

When the project is related to my professional skills (e.g. retired teacher helping out in local school)

When the project is related to my hobbies or passions (a Shakespeare enthusiast participating in local play)

When I can see financial or career upsides through participating in the project (e.g. planning a start-up with friends to potentially work on it full-time)

When the project only requires generic skills I can easily fulfil (e.g. serving as an usher in a local play)

When I see that a project has huge potential impacts (e.g. participating in a film project that may go on to international film festivals)

When I see that a project urgently needs manpower (e.g. need 2 extras in an amateur film)

When the project allows me to network with people or circles that interest me (e.g. meeting up neighbours through local campaigns)

When a project has a strong 'giving back to the community' theme (e.g. helping to restore a local park)

When a project creates an artefact that I will be proud of (e.g. helping in film-making, creating an app that will be released to the general public)
