    How to approach this question concerning careers events

    Thanks for sharing this Oliver. White & Case also have a similar question, whilst attending their open day, I spoke to GR and they said any type of experience whether specific to the firm or general should be listed, this is because it shows a wide range of experiences you have undergone to...

    Bullet points

    I would say narrative form but just make it very concise. Personally, I use narrative forms for work experience sections and the extra curricular activities, I feel like the paragraphs flow better and it is easier to follow and read (ironically).

    "Provide details of any careers events you have attended"

    Also, forgot to add, the above question @GGLove posted is not exclusive to the firm you are applying for, mention every career events, dinners or other opportunities you have attended throughout the city and how it has prepared you for a career as a commercial solicitor.
