    Think through what is being asked and what the information given actually means. Don't rush that section.

    My point though is that the terms supplied by Forage address LinkedIn/CV use, and are silent on the point of application form work experience. I've emailed their help desk for clarification on their policy and will report back here when I receive a response.

    I've also heard grad rec people say that they're happy to see Forage experiences in WE sections of applications.

    General question re: 'proudest achievement' type questions - my go-to example is a bit dated now and revolves around an initiative I spearheaded at the end of my undergraduate in 2018. Since graduating I've moved to London from overseas, done the GDL, done an LLM and spent time working, but...

    It's untimed. If you mean in terms of the window to complete it after submission, I don't think there is a timeframe for the CAPP assessment but WG has to be within 5 days.
