Yes, it is from the same activity (work experience). But the two examples/scenarios I am giving are completely different.- Lily721

Hi Jess! I hope you had a nice Easter! I wanted to ask your opinion on something. I am applying for this paralegal position and the application is very straightforward - CV, education and work experience. At the end of the form there is a section to add a "Cover Letter / Other Notes"...- Lily721

Would it be viewed as negatively if I used the same experience twice in an application form? I have to answer a bunch of STAR questions and for two of them, I am giving examples that came from the same experience. I am worried about using the same experience twice, but I just cannot come up with...- Lily721

Hey! Can anyone please provide some assistance on answering this question I am struggling with? It is basically asking me to use the STAR technique to explain a time when I "saw the big picture". Some of the guidance provided has got to do with understanding how my work supports wider...- Lily721

It is more of an organisation. They have this role which would involve assisting a team on a range of stuff including legal projects and HR.- Lily721

Hi Jess, I was wondering if you had any thoughts for the following question: "What are the critical aspects of a high-quality employee onboarding process?"- Lily721

Thank you both. I ended up adding a couple of more sentences, because while I was pleased with my answer, it really bugged me leaving it 35 words short. And then I had to spend an hour trying to figure out how to cut it down to 300 😂- Lily721

I have an answer that is 265 words long, but the maximum is 300 words. Would graduate recruitment view this unfavourably? I just don't know how else I can change it to get more words in as I am quite happy with it.- Lily721

I see. Would that still be the case if I have not put my volunteering in the work experience section, but rather just mentioned it in one of the questions? The trouble is that the volunteering was informal. I literally went to my old school in my home country where I offered to help out and...- Lily721

Hi Jess, Do you know if law firms would require evidence of volunteering? Even if that has happened abroad?- Lily721

True, but this process is so competitive this year that I feel like any delay in moving between the stages can be decisive....and who knows how long it will take them to respond back following an email that I want to continue with my application.- Lily721

Oh I see....but I still think it is annoying for them to do that. I wouldn’t have applied otherwise if I didn’t want to start a TC in 2023 provided I was successful....and in reality, I think the majority of firms are recruiting for 2023/2024 so it is not like there are so many options out there...- Lily721

Hi @Jaysen sorry to be a bother, but just wanted to ask if you can let me know if I will be granted access to tomorrow's evening event? I am only asking through here as I need to let my manager know about my hours tomorrow.- Lily721
