I was wondering for the question below do I need to give specific examples. For example, do I need to mention example of a time where I had handled pressure well at work or just mention the skill I had developed in a experience.

How have you developed your skills and interest in the profession through your non-academic experiences? You may wish to include your hobbies, extra-curricular activities, employment, volunteering, sports or anything else that you think is relevant. You should outline why you believe that this experience has helped you develop the skills required to be a successful lawyer.
