DWF Open Day - 50 word work experience section

[Lauren]

Hi, I am looking at DWF's open day application but am struggling with the 50 word limit in the work experience section. I was wondering what this the best way to approach this section when I only can say 2-3 sentences max?

Should I pick out key skills such as in the below example for paralegal work but limit description?

"I utilise problem solving and organisational skills to balance competing tasks across practice areas, ensuring progress towards final deadlines is noted. I regularly communicate with associates in London litigation team to return tasks relating to a long running matter. I use my initiative encountering hurdles which endanger the final deadline"

I’d personally focus on responsibilities and outcomes rather than skills, unless the firms has explicitly told you to focus on skills.
