[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 14230, member: 1"] You're right that you don't want to just repeat any sections. For this question, really evaluate all of your experiences and don't be modest in the way you pitch it (too many candidates are). ECs/tech and language skills sound like a good place to start, but rather than simply stating them, try to really drill down into why it makes you stand out from the crowd. For example, some candidates: - Began working as soon as they could and have consistently balanced a job with studies - Have overcome challenging personal obstacles which has shaped who they are today - Have spent several years as a paralegal and therefore have developed really transferable skills (and have a far better understanding of how law firms work) - Have spent a year travelling to different countries, which has taught them how to adjust to new cultures and communicate to people from a variety of backgrounds - Have spent several years dedicated to a personal hobby (like painting or photography) Note, these are just examples and the activities don't have to be exceptional, they just have to be well-pitched.
