@jessicabooker for Withers' application, can I included informal shadowing and open days as part of work experience? Some firms expect this others do not. My application is basically ready to go I just need to make sure I can include those experiences if not I need to delete them.

The informal work shadowing definitely can be.

If there isn’t a dedicated section for careers events, then I would consider grouping your open days together in one entry.
