[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 212449, member: 36777"] I completely agree with [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] on the point about not needing to fill out the word count for every single work experience. I certainly did not do so for many shorter experiences I had (Forage Virtual Internships, volunteering, etc), and this was never an issue. The same applies to division into paragraphs: as you mentioned, sometimes it made sense to have multiple paragraphs (when I was discussing a longer and more substantial experience with multiple responsibilities), and sometimes it did not. Graduate recruiters will definitely not mind you writing an application so as to be easy to read; this is one of the core skills they are looking for. One thing you should keep in mind, however, is that certain application platforms seemingly allow for separate paragraphs when viewed by the applicant, but bundle all the text together in one block when it reaches the recruiter. As such, you should ensure you signpost and organize your text enough so that it is easy to navigate even in the absence of the different paragraphs. [/QUOTE]
