[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 217384, member: 42112"] Hello! :) From what I understand, you’re expected to fill in the work experience section and upload your CV for the NRF application. I know it can feel slightly repetitive, but they do serve slightly different purposes. Your CV should give the early careers team a full picture of your background and experience in your own format. The NRF website states: “List your work experience in order. Include dates, role, and key responsibilities. Add both legal and non-legal roles – including Open Days and Vacation Schemes (with us or elsewhere).” On the other hand, the work experience section on your application should highlight the most relevant roles and pull out the key details from them. I’d recommend using this section to discuss the skills that NRF are looking for, such as commercial awareness and attention to detail. You don’t need to copy-paste your entire CV into the work experience section, as you should be highlighting the most relevant experiences instead. However, I would definitely still fill out both sections. Best of luck! :) [/QUOTE]
