whether you have a current driver’s license;

any additional information (besides what you already mentioned to us) on roles, such as an intern, volunteer, receiving course credit, other paid position, etc., you are interested in working in. (We have persons, including students, working with us in various roles, and we like to know what roles each person is willing to work in.)
