[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 219581, member: 36777"] As some forum members already explained, it's always best to go with what the firm says they want, if you can find that out on their website or from a recruiter. Nonetheless, in many cases this information will not be available. In these situations, I would advise you to go with prose: while I know a minority of firms have a preference for bullet points, when asked, they invariably told me they have no issue with prose. Their preference just had to do with the fact that they found information presented in a bullet point form to be more digestible. However, there are also firms who want all sections to be written in prose. When asked whether they would accept bullet points, their reaction was more adverse, as the rationale behind wanting you to write in prose apparently had to do with wanting to test your drafting skills.
