Message: <blockquote data-quote="Andrei Radu" data-source="post: 218270" data-attributes="member: 36777">I do not think you should necessarily separate them in categories; recruiters are aware a substantial proportion of open days are selective, and as such will likely infer that several of yours are as well. Nonetheless, there is no harm in separating them in two broad "non-selective careers events" and "selective careers events" groups either. You should simply choose what you think makes more sense in the context of your answer. As for the second question about the level of detail to go into: you likely will not have sufficient space (and nor would it be appropriate) to describe in detail what happened in each open day and what you learnt. I would either (a) simply list the events and, next to each bullet point on the list, have a short one sentence line with a key takeaway about what I learned; or (b) after listing the open days, go for a more narrative style approach, and have a bigger paragraph explaining how going to these events shaped your interest in commercial law and particular practice areas (and even potentially your interest in the particular firm you are applying for). For the third question: I think you should always be listing your Forage virtual experiences as well, as they are proof of interest in commercial law and of actual engagement with trainee tasks.</blockquote>
