[QUOTE="suhana, post: 191092, member: 34506"] Hi [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] and anyone who can help! I had a quick query regarding one of the questions in my application. The question reads: “Please detail all your positions of responsibility, including title, date, and a brief description. Please separate each position with a bullet point - 500 words.” For some reason, I find myself repeating a lot of my work experience. I’m currently holding a society position and also held one last year, which I plan to mention. However, since the word count is quite high, I wanted to ask if volunteering, such as pro bono work, could come under "positions of responsibility." Additionally, I’m a campus ambassador for a law firm, but I feel that role leans more towards work experience rather than a position of responsibility, especially since it’s a paid role. I’m a bit confused because I typically categorise pro bono work and my campus ambassador experience as work experience. Do you have any tips on what else could be included under positions of responsibility without repeating my work experience? Another issue I had was with the formatting of the bullet points. I wanted to clarify whether I’m supposed to write the description and my responsibilities in bullet points (similar to a CV), or if they expect each experience to be listed as a bullet point with the description written in prose. I’d really appreciate your insight on this. [/QUOTE]
