[QUOTE="D, post: 29222, member: 540"] Here is my practical advice: 1. Limit your experiences to 4 sections. Pick the most relevant. If you can, combine experiences (Open Days/Vac Schemes etc). The reason why I advocate this is that some firms limit their work experience section to 4 examples. Thus, you are doing yourself a favour for when you need to copy and paste these into other applications. Regarding copy/pasting, my strategy was to provide the exact same information every time, save for when I was writing about my open day experiences. I tended to offer some specific detail about the firm I was applying for that I learnt on their open day. 2. Limit your experience to 150 words. I say this for the same reason above. Some firms limit that section to 150 words. This will again allow you to copy from app to app. The bonus here is also that you get to keep your experiences concise which will assist the reviewer. You will get lots of advice on this forum. Some may conflict with what I have said. My advice may not be the best, however, I can only pass down what I found personally successful in my own applications :) Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
