Hi everyone,
I would love to know for all firms, specifically Travers Smith my number one firm of choice for a 2024/25 vac scheme, whether the following experience would fit as a work experience, position of responsibility, or extracurricular.
After submitting my CV and a writing sample in Dec 2023 for a very popular legal blog, I got accepted to contribute monthly articles with deadlines to one of its blog sections. Recently, my editor recommended my promotion to their role as they are leaving soon. As Editor I would be in charge of a team of writers, create monthly rotas, contribute my own articles, and onboard new writers.
And just for some background knowledge, in terms of my proper work experience, I've currently got a high-street internship, pro-bono centre volunteering, Legal Cheek virtual vac schemes, and tutoring secondary school students as for-sure entries in the work experience section.
Given how I obtained this experience (Writer to Editor), the tasks involved, and my promotion, what section of the application form this would fit into? @Jaysen, @Jessica Booker, or anyone your advice would be much appreciated. Also, how do I word the promotion?
Thank you
