[QUOTE="dannyp123, post: 214970, member: 37628"] Hey everyone, I’m working on an application for a law firm’s Open Day and had a quick question. Most of my experience comes from legal work placements (a couple of local firms), but I haven’t had any traditional paid employment. However, I’ve held leadership roles in a few university societies, where I’ve taken on a lot of responsibility and developed relevant skills. Would it be appropriate to include those society roles in the [B]Work Experience[/B] section of the application, or should I only stick to formal employment and internships? I’m just concerned that if I only include legal placements, I’m leaving out some important experiences that show who I am and what I can bring to the table. Any advice would be really appreciated — especially from anyone who’s applied before! [/QUOTE]
