[QUOTE="Amma Usman, post: 189731, member: 36740"] Hi [USER=37133]@OVLD68[/USER] , great question. Some firms do put limits on how many experiences you can put in the boxes. In situations like this, I recommend inputting the key 4 experiences that are most relevant to the trainee solicitor role. It doesn’t have to be legal, just anything which can demonstrate a range of transferable skills. For the other blank box, you can put in the other experiences which you feel are also directly relevant, outside the other four. However, take care in doing so as I’m sure the limitation of 4 key experiences is to ensure you focus on quality over quantity and really hit the nail on the head regarding your past experiences. I also recommend putting them in chronological order. They will all otherwise be relevant to the job, but arranging them chronologically provides a better structure. Additionally, if you are keen on putting extra experiences in the other box, I advise doing so in bullet points with a mixture of prose - as the 4 boxes should have already covered the main points.
