Message: <blockquote data-quote="Abbie Whitlock" data-source="post: 218356" data-attributes="member: 42112">Hey!With firms that are moving to a work-experience-only format, the key element is to make sure you aren't just listing roles. It's about showing what you learned and how it links back to the skills they're looking for in a trainee. A simple structure that might be helpful is:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Context - briefly outline the role / experience</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Action - what you actually did. I would highlight your main responsibilities and / or challenges</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Skills / Insights - discuss the transferable skills that you developed (e.g. teamwork, research, client contact, problem solving)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Relevance - the key part is to tie this to how it prepares you for a career in commercial law and why it matters at a firm such as Freshfields</li> </ol>By handling the section this way, even if the experience isn't strictly legal, you're still demonstrating your suitability and motivation in a way that they are looking for.I hope that helps! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
