Hey, I was wondering how much space people tend to use to detail their work experience on TC/VS applications. On my CV, I just have 'one-liners', detailing responsibilities and achievements, but I am finding that I tend to elaborate more on applications. I am new to the application procedure, so was wondering whether others have been successful using a paragraph format, or whether it is preferred to succinctly list achievements, as per a CV?

TIA!

When I was making applications, I'd generally keep each work ex between 75-100 words in a paragraph format.
