[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 30978, member: 2672"] A) they should definitely be on an application form somewhere. But only put them in a work experience section if you haven’t got more substantial work experience to talk about or you have unlimited work experience entries. Don’t prioritise open days and the like at the cost of a long term part time job or interesting non legal work experience/job. They aren’t ECs though - so don’t put them there. Some people will put them in “extra information” sections or will just reference them in answers to competency/motivational questions. B) Most Sherpa courses are really a form of e-learning - ie you don’t have any work responsibilities, you are just going through a simulation. Given that, these might be better suited to qualification or academic sections, or again the “extra information” section of applications. They may review your work from a virtual internship but it’s hard to say whether they will (as it’s more work). It might help/hinder a borderline application, but I doubt it would influence a bad application or a very strong application and make the recruiter see things to opposite way. Generally I would have thought it would be far riskier to [B]not [/B]claim the virtual internship rather than to do so. [/QUOTE]
