Application Form Question?

Heyy...i'm filling in a pcso application form and am stuck on this question

'Tell us about a situation when you have acted without being told, gone beyond what was expected of you & even gone further than others would have done'

I don't have much work experience and was thinking of using a example which was not related to work, good idea? any suggestions for this or examples that i can use to answer this, appreciate any advice or suggestions given

Any situation is fine, even one thats, well, imagined.
They want to see your thought process, your concerns and considerations. I hate these questions they now put on applications!!

I was working at a child care center, and noticed that a piece of yard equipment was getting old, and rusy. I contacted our owner about it, after work I got on the computer and found a new replacement, and kept looking until I found the best priced, verified that, and gave the information to my manager, we obtained the new equipment fast, and my manager gave me a bonus for taking control of a situation where one of the children could of been injured, or an inspection would of gotten us a fine.

Something like that will work.
You observed, notified, searched, notified, and solved an important issue.

I noticed a customer trying to climb up to reach a product, I went over to the customer, and ask them to hold on, and went and got our safety ladder and got down the product, and also brougth down more product and quickly stocked the shelf.
This too shows awarness, safety, customer service, and future concern in this situationa.

I was at our community library and noticed children climbing up shelves of books, I went over and asked the children to go ask for help, and went to one of the librarians and let her know the situtation I just stopped, and mentioned maybe placing the books on a lower shelf to stop this from happening in the future.

Use something that happend in Girl Scouts, while volunteering, at school, at work, noone will call to verify, and on job apps, soemtimes working out a scenario on paper is worth the white lie, its not to make you look like a hero, its to show that you can quickly respond to a scenario.

I saw a child running to near the street, and went and got them onto the parents home lawn, and went and brougth this to the parents attetion, they didnt know the kids were out front.

something as simple as that too, shows your observant.
