[QUOTE="SoonToBeTrainee, post: 188997, member: 32830"] It varies from firm to firm. A&O, for example, want a skills-heavy work experience section. Willkie, however, prefer a more factual work experience section (which in my opinion makes far more sense). I’d recommend doing your research on each individual firm. But, for Willkie, it’s probably best to not talk about skills. Again, it depends on firm, but it’s often best to not link your work experience to how it’s relevant for commercial law. Stacking shelves neatly at Tesco is not the same as drafting legal documentation accurately, despite what some may say in their applications… [/QUOTE]
