[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 186019, member: 36777"] So for headings, I would just put the name of the event and that of the organizer as the 'Employer' and 'Attendee/Participant' as 'Job Title'. For the main bit, I think you should just employ the normal STAR structure, with some tweaks to try to show the experience in the best light: [LIST] [*][B]Situation[/B]: Explain in one or two sentences what was the context in which you did this workshop/case study/other event. You can consider discussing any steps in an application process, the reasons which prompted you to apply for it, how that fitted in your schedule with your other responsibilities etc. [*][B]Tasks[/B]: here, I would just lay out the main activity you had to do (eg describe the scenario of teh case study) with a focus on what you had to do individually even if it was part of a team effort. [*][B]Actions[/B]: here, you should explain what particular actions you undertook to make sure you did a good job. If you ever did anything different from what would have normally been the expectation, or went above and beyond your normal responsibilities, or showed initiative, you should focus on that. [*][B]Results[/B]: Explain any type of positive impacts/consequences of your role. You could include examples of high scores, commendation and praise from organizers, praise from your teammates and overall increases success. Also, this is the point where you want to make any links with your skills/why commercial law/why the firm motivations. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
