[QUOTE="TortillaTC, post: 218783, member: 40677"] Hi! [USER=42112]@Abbie Whitlock[/USER] I attended Willkie's application writing event yesterday, and their grad rec said that we shouldn't talk about skills developed in the WE sections but mere results/achievements in each WE, and she recommended the CAR structure (context; action; result) => is it okay to mix action+result together, since writing about them separately seems a bit odd? e.g. "I drafted x document (action), that helped y.. (result)" instead of putting the result in the next paragraph? Also: she advised against describing skills in WE entries but their open day application form doesn't have a separate skills Q - would it be a really bad idea to talk about relevant skills in WE after all? she pointed out that candidates sometimes connect experiences with unrealistic skills (e.g. working at McDonalds won't give you commercial awareness) but what about actually valid skills eg. Juggling an internship with my studies developed my time management skills that will help me manage conflicting deadlines as a trainee? [/QUOTE]
