maybe a little late to be asking this question lol but when you guys fill out the work experience section, do you simply list the tasks or do you write what skills you demonstrated / learned from doing that task? I’m asking because I had my CV checked years ago by a Magic Circle lawyer who said to remove any explanation of skills learned etc and to be super succinct in writing down bullet point tasks under WE section. I’ve just watched a grad recruitment video basically saying the opposite so would be intrigued to know what other people do?
I think it depends on the firm. When I went to HSF’s open day they made it clear not to use bullet points and to write in full what you did and what skills your gained etc. Some firms don’t mind a CV style work experience section. To be safe I’d say to use STAR and quantify any results you achieved. I think also avoid repeating any information you already made in your application.Hey
My friend heard back yesterday, got through to video interviews
as many as it took to start applying outside of London tbh
Huge congratulations!! 🥳
I normally look out for anything they say on the actual page of the application section, law firms might be really clear they want to know about your skills as well as duties and others just duties.Hey
Thank you!
Wow congrats!!! No news yet for me… 😅
