I think your example above is a little bit too 'tell' - I think really what they mean, when you are doing your 'why you' response sections is try to pick out just a couple of key skills or attributes and evidence them with experience but you don't need to tell them every skill that is borne out of an experience. So, for example, i picked out one key thing i wanted to discuss and gave examples of when I had worked in a situation which enhanced that particular attribute but I did not list every other attribute inherent to that experience. I did find this 'show not tell' approach quite tricky but I think the heart of it is that firms don't want to read really formulaic answers and saying I have XYZ skills from XYZ can sometimes lend to relatively disengaging writing. Try to pick a couple of key skills you want to showcase and try to compel that through experience but without being as explicit as the example you give above.</blockquote>
