At the end of that question it says something like ‘and anything else relevant to app’ - was just wondering if that meant talk about them a bit

One and two seemed quite similar but found three a LOT harder, really wasn’t expecting to get through that one! Trying to decide how to prepare for the next round in London, do you have any tips? :)

I would remove the personal details which are listed elsewhere in the application but am also undecided about what to do about work experience, thinking maybe do max three bullet points for each one on cv and then expand more in the work experience sections on the app form??
