Message: <blockquote data-quote="ashwright" data-source="post: 216290" data-attributes="member: 29878">Good morning everyone! Looking forward to this application season - we're all going to smash it! 💪Quick question for [USER=36740]@Amma Usman[/USER] [USER=40237]@ZNadeem[/USER] and [USER=30780]@vera.mekhonoshina[/USER] 😁Do you have any advice on structuring your work experience (& extracurricular, volunteering, etc.) section for the written application? Normally, the initial written application asks you to list these kinds of experiences, as well as to write a brief explanation of what you did. I tend to overthink this section for some silly reason!In particular, I wanted to check if you guys have any advice on 1.) structuring these responses (I'm guessing STAR?) and 2.) whether you think it's necessary to link the skill from your experience to a skill or value appreciated by the firm you're applying to. Also, by 'linking' skills, I'm thinking along the lines of whether it's necessary to make it explicit that the skill is something is appreciated by the firm - e.g. "By working at Company X, I developed Y skill through doing Z task. Y skill is valued by your firm because..." Is that second sentence helpful, or is it obvious/unnecessary for the work experience section (and would perhaps be better left for 'Why' questions)?(and, if it's alright, fun bonus question!! 😁 Do you guys know where I could find  examples of well-drafted work experience sections?)Thank you in advance!! I really appreciate any advice ☺️</blockquote>
