[QUOTE="Hazal, post: 3358, member: 694"] Hi all! Pretty quick and mundane question I have to ask. Are bullet points a safe option when filling in the "brief summary" parts of an application form? I'm thinking the work experience section but also sections such as Jones Day's Extracurricular Activities, which ask "[I]Please give a brief summary of any prizes, scholarships, positions of responsibility and any other noteworthy achievements gained at School, University, Law School or in employment[/I]" and "[I]Please give a brief summary of any activities you've been involved in outside academic study or work over the last four years." [/I]Both have word limits of 100. [I][/I] Does everyone else generally use bullet points for work experience (unless the firm has explicitly stated not to) and would anyone advise I use bullet points for these two questions or go with narrative form? [/QUOTE]
