[QUOTE="ZNadeem, post: 216388, member: 40237"] Hi! There’s no need to tailor your work experience section to each firm — I never did. Realistically, the competencies firms look for are broadly the same. The crux of a strong work experience section is to: [LIST=1] [*]Provide a bit of context on the role. [*]Be detailed on what you actually did and how. [*](Optional, depending on space) Briefly touch on the 1-2 skills you gained and how they’ll benefit you as a trainee. [/LIST] I wouldn’t use bullet points — most firms prefer it in paragraph form, as it flows better and shows you can write professionally. [/QUOTE]
