[QUOTE="WillkieGemma, post: 148689, member: 17473"] Hi [USER=29424]@al97[/USER] Sorry, I wasn't clear. The emphasis should be on you and your work, rather than listing skills. No firm would be expecting applicants to match the skills of a trainee or an NQ - it would be unrealistic. Rather, focus on what you have done, the efforts you have made and your achievements within each role. The skills then should leap off the page, so to speak!! It's great to highlight your knowledge of the firm, but don't do this to the detriment of letting us know about the great things you have done, whether on legal work experience or paid employment in any sector or role (whether law, retail, hospitality etc\). thanks!
