[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 437, member: 1"] Thanks Nick. It's a very good point and often overlooked by students. I know that filling out the work experience section can be very tiring - at least, that's how I felt - but you're right, it's an important part of the application. The good thing is once you get it down you can copy and paste your answers for all applications. Remember that recruiters have hundreds of applications to get through. So when they're going through your work experience they want to see concrete information about what you did - exactly as Selma said. They may well skim through some parts of your work experience and it's unhelpful if a student describes the skills they have without providing evidence. I attach examples for one of my successful applications to give you an idea of how to structure an answer. [ATTACH=full]21[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]22[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]23[/ATTACH] NB: This only shows how I approached the work experience section. I can't guarantee that these are good answers; it could well be the case that my application was successful despite my work experience answers. [/QUOTE]
