[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 93381, member: 2672"] My view is that they will be much better suited to the 600-word answer in the CC app and this is where the majority of candidates put them. Given they explicitly state that in the question below, it seems far more logical for them to be included in this section. [B][I]You have told us about your academic achievements and work experience and now, in no more than 600 words, we are keen to hear more about you. This should include your extra-curricular activities, positions of responsibility and an achievement of importance which you are most proud of (600 words max)[/I][/B] However, it seems from various posts on TCLA that the firm have advised that you CAN put leadership/society in your work experience section. That is slightly bizarre to me if they then have a specific question to cover this, but just shows you this is an art not a science and that different firms will have different views on it. Many firms will really not want you to put such roles in your work experience though, so just because CC say its ok, it isn't necessarily the case for other firms. Whatever you do though, ensure there is no repetition between sections. This is the biggest risk when boundaries are blurred like this. [/QUOTE]
