[QUOTE="Ram Sabaratnam, post: 214994, member: 36738"] Hiya [USER=40762]@ghost08[/USER] I think any of those could work well as a fourth option, however I’d suggest choosing the one that helps [I]round out[/I] your profile or adds something that isn’t already captured by your other experiences/application answers. For your fourth entry, you might consider: [LIST] [*]The insight week at the sports marketing firm if you want to show broader commercial awareness and interest beyond law (especially if you can tie the experience to specific skills like stakeholder communication or exposure to business strategy). [*]The open days, highlighting any that particularly stand out (e.g. involved a group exercise, case study, or detailed Q&A with partners on issues that might resonate with Sidley's work in London). You can also briefly mention what you enjoyed learning from them. [*]The coaching experience if you want to highlight leadership, teamwork, or your ability to support others in achieving their goals. [*]The shadowing at the city firm if you had any meaningful interaction or insight that you think might have been distinct from the vacation scheme. [/LIST] Ultimately, I’d go with whichever one you feel you can write most clearly and meaningfully about, especially in terms of what you learned, how it helped develop transferrable skills, or how it helped shape your understanding of working in a commercial environment. Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
