[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 92860, member: 2672"] I would keep it super concise. Title the events and the month/year you attended so your reader can understand the chronological journey you have had through the events. Focus on 1-2 key learning per event where appropriate (e.g. more appropriate for open days, but not really for something like law/career fairs). I don't think you have to be explicit in stating how these events have led you to BM, especially for the non-BM events you attended. If you have mentioned it elsewhere in your application, ensure there isn't repetition here (e.g. in other sections you could say how events have helped you decide on BM, but then it definitely isn't needed in this section, as it would be repetition). You would put the cafe role in this "Please list other work experience" question too. Definitely don't leave it out of an application - it can just be mentioned briefly in this section. You don't have to state the obvious (e.g. serving customers), just try to focus on the unique elements - e.g. was the role full time/long hours, were you given additional responsibilities/promoted, did you help improve the business in anyway. Don't worry if it is limited - recruiters know these roles can be pretty straight forward, but will be able to infer a lot of transferable skills you would have gained from this experience. [/QUOTE]
