[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 37880, member: 2672"] If limited to 200 words, I'd aim for either very short paragraphs or bullet points. You could do a mix of both, with the paragraphs for things you want to describe more, while other things that are more factual (e.g. Grade 8 in Piano) in bullet point. You would never let a firm know you haven't done much in a position! If you haven't done much, you just won't need much detail behind it. Slightly frank/blunt here - this is why society positions are not always that impressive - being elected is typically just a popularity contest and they don't really care about you having the role, they care about what you did.
