Hi shweta. When I went for my interview, I had roughly 6 months of gap. So I told them about my part time stand-up comedy. I was also helping out a friend pro bono in his business venture. I did some social media marketing for his hotel and some recruitment.

They asked follow up questions about businesses strategy and such. I answered them to the best of my knowledge and I guess they liked it.
