[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 189433, member: 36777"] There is no right or wrong answer as to the ideal approach for this type of question, as it highly depends on the nature of your work experiences. However, I think in the majority of circumstances it is better to discuss 3 different skills rather than only 1 skill illustrated by a number of experiences. Firstly, because there numerous skills that are necessary to succeed as a trainee, and you want to seem like a well-rounded candidate for the role. Secondly, because there is a limit to the value-add of further demonstrating or emphasizing the extent of one specific skill you gained. Say you have already used 150 words to explain how you have great attention to detail and referenced an experience where you were responsible for document review. If you then choose to add another 150 words to also explain how you also showed this aptitude when doing due diligence tasks in another job, does this really add a lot of valuable information which improves your candidate profile? I do not think the second paragraph adds a lot of value, especially in comparison to the value add of discussing a more varied skill set. Finally, as to how to generally approach this question, I really cannot put it any better than [USER=36738]@Ram Sabaratnam[/USER] has in this quoted post: [/QUOTE]
