[QUOTE="TCSeeker999, post: 215367, member: 35659"] the way i would do it would be to have a line at the start saying 'in july 2025, i completed X experience. my role/responsibility/what i did.....' then, i usually structure it around the firm's competency framework (if they have one.) logically, if that is what they look for in their trainees, they should be scanning for that at every level in your application. explicitly showing the ties from your experiences to their competency framework to me seems to be the logical way forward. i aim to try and tick off each of the competencies/sub section of their competencies with STAR examples in each experience. so take Links as an example, they have their Agile mindset. I would try and find examples throughout all of my experiences that show each of the following: Empathy - interpersonal skills, respect, working with others. Divergent thinking - critical thinking, intellect, technical capability....and so on. then, after this i would usually include a link to how this skill/competency is relevant to a commercial solicitor at the firm. however, this is my approach to it... also, probs best if someone more qualified confirms this lol!
