    Hi all,

    I was hoping someone could advise me on what to include in the work experience section of the application. I have worked in 2 different full-time roles since graduation. Naturally, this is the main component of my work experience answers. I had also previously done some legal work experience, and I include this as it's directly relevant.

    However, there are a couple of other non-law internships that I had undertaken while at school/university. I figured they might come across as superfluous compared to my actual full-time roles, and the little legal work experience I have. However, I'm having second thoughts, and was wondering if it's worth including them in the work experience section after all?

    Thanks!

    Put in all of your work experience, focussing on what your tasks were and what skills you developed as a result - it doesn’t all have to be ‘legal’ as you’ll need many soft skills to work in an office :) good luck!
