[QUOTE="jamescockayne, post: 187791, member: 8637"] Hi there, I am currently in the process of completing the work experience section for an application. I have a few key roles that I feel convey key skills and achievements. Beyond, them, I have a number of shorter work experience sections, usually relating to shadowing experience or volunteer roles where I highlight one key facet. For example, I was a social media volunteer for an asylum charity, and I wrote: [I]As a volunteer, I was responsible for researching and creating content on issues around asylum and immigration detention in the UK for the Forum’s thousands of social media followers. Requiring precise and compelling language skills, the role encouraged me to develop a clear and concise communication style; my posts had continued successful engagement. I believe I can transfer these written communication skills into my legal career.[/I] Is it better to include shorter experiences where I had less tangible outcomes/ achievements if they convey a developed skill? Or should I just prioritise longer, more developed experiences? Would be great to hear people's thoughts. [/QUOTE]
