[QUOTE="Sonia2004, post: 228559, member: 36235"] Hi! These are all really great. A lot of them, such as reading 70 pages of an agreement, and working as a part-time student, shows a lot of qualities that firms look for in their trainees. Here are some tips for improvement: 1. There are many paragraphs, so, I would try to convert each work experience into one paragraph where I outline: The role, what tasks I was involved with, what skills this required, and reflections from this experience. So, just following the STAR method, which you do in most of your response, but, I am just concerned about the structure. 2. Most of the times, you have been excellent in describing the skills you have gained. However, this is missing in question three. Please incorporate fundamental skills like attention to detail, precision, organisation etc. 3. As you do in the 5th work experience section, I would also try to quantify the benefit of my work to the company. If not, try to show an element of success by maybe mentioning any positive feedback you got from the team? This shows that not only did you do the work, but you did the work well :) Otherwise, really well done! [/QUOTE]
