Message: <blockquote data-quote="Anakin10" data-source="post: 219290" data-attributes="member: 42600">[USER=36777]@Andrei Radu[/USER]  Hey Andrei, a big fan of your work and was hoping to get your thoughts and advice on how to approach the work experience section of the written applications for vacation schemes. Most firms leave it open ended in terms of word count and how many experiences to submit. But what kinds of things would you mention in this section and how would you discuss them? Here are 2 key points I wanted to ask about:1.I have so far only used real work experiences, such as part time work and legal internship. But I have seen people talk about their responsibilities at university (such as committee positions and judge positions etc). 2. I have so far mainly discussed what I did in these roles and what the work experience entailed. I haven't really tied it back to skills or spoken much about the skills learnt and how it links back to commercial law, but I have seen that some people do take this approach. I know that there is no particular or 'correct' way to approach this (the same can be said for the application process in general) and it will also be firm dependent but I wanted to know your thoughts and what you think would work best (and perhaps what would work best for certain types of firms).I would also ask how to approach it depending on your experience (the work experiences I have been talking about are: summer camp counsellor, sports and fitness assistant at my university gym, Tutor, research intern at client earth (legal research internship), 2 week internship/shadwoing at local high street firm) Should I speak about more work experiences or are those enough/good?</blockquote>

Verification: Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
