[QUOTE="bangarangbass39, post: 174549, member: 30928"] Just a question about references. I have handed in a CV with volunteer and work experience. I'm interested in what companies including law firms look for when checking up on your employment and volunteering history? Do they check on the role and things you did as well? Or do they mostly just ask whether you were there and at that time stated exactly? I say this because for some roles which had unofficial titles I made them up. I only did this because the responsibilities I had were very clear but the role titles weren't. Also I mentioned programmes I did online - like the AS access programme and the Legal Cheek Vac Scheme. I clarified with recruitment that it is not official work experience where I had responsibilities or carried out certain duties that entail a work experience. I'm just interested if firms check up on this as well or are experiences like this of no interest to recruitment to follow up on? [/QUOTE]
