[QUOTE="SRT, post: 216065, member: 30514"] You don’t need to force the [I]achievements[/I] section if it doesn’t feel relevant for every role — it’s more there to give you space to highlight standout contributions (e.g. “assisted on a live client matter” or “streamlined a process”), not to repeat day-to-day responsibilities. The 250 words vs. 1000 characters thing is just how the form is structured: the job description box is deliberately short so you stick to factual responsibilities, while the achievements/skills boxes allow more reflection and detail. Many applicants use the job description for a brief summary of what they did, and the achievements section to link the experience back to skills Linklaters looks for. [/QUOTE]
