It doesn't dilute your other work experience if you include them.


It's your decision, but take the following into consideration:


1) You don't really need to detail anything about the open day apart from the firm, the title of the event and the date. At best a sentence about the key thing you learnt from it/how it shaped your career motivation is the maximum of what is needed. Don't tell me what you did on an open day


2) You can group them together if you think it detracts from other legal work experience and other jobs/internships etc. I'd much prefer you to include more detail on a part-time job in Tescos that you did for a year than waste word count on open days.


3) If you haven't got as much experience with directly comparable firms (e.g. all your work experience is with regional firms in Bristol and you are applying to US firms in London), then an open day with a directly comparable firm becomes far more interesting and important to include.


above applies to both LinkedIn and CVs/online application forms.
