[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 190062, member: 36777"] I can think of two ways to include it: [LIST] [*][B]Integrate it into your cover letter or application form answer[/B]: it can make a lot of sense to have it as the 'Result' part of a STAR-structured paragraph. For instance, if you are discussing your interest in commercial law and how it grew over time, you can explain how once you have confirmed you wanted to pursue this path you have been making VS applications and have subsequently received a WVS offer. Another example of how you can use it is when discussing your skills - for instance, you can show how your commercial awareness improved over time, which led to you performing really well in interviews, which led to receiving a WVS offer. [*][B]Mention it in your work experience section[/B]: if you cannot do the former, I would advise you to still try to mention it in your work experience section. I think having a VS offer from another firm gives you a lot of clout and significantly improves your candidate profile, and as such it would be a mistake not to write about the achievement. The way I would approach the fact that you haven't yet completed it is either through the dates (if the form allows to input future dates), the the title of the work experience (you can say something like 'Upcoming Vacation Scheme at ...'), or in the description section.
