Message: <blockquote data-quote="pfoapplicant" data-source="post: 222493" data-attributes="member: 8993">Hi guys, I'm currently putting together my application for the Taylor Wessing VS, and I've got some quick queries:1. On the form, candidates are able to attach a CV (and are expected to attach a cover letter), but there's also a section for work experience; each work experience contains the message "outline your responsibilities and what you skills you built from this experience in no more than 200 words". I'm anticipating that there might be quite a big overlap between what I write in the work experience section on the form, and what I write in the work experience section of my CV (albeit I expect the experience section on my CV will be more concise, and there'll be less of an explicit focus on skills than on the experience section on the form). Would this be okay?2. Given the lack of any explicit guidance on Taylor Wessing's website on how long the cover letter should be, would it be wise to keep it to one page?3. Not too long ago, I did some (unpaid) work over a couple of years collating research for the authors of an academic legal paper, and generally supporting the authors' work. In past application cycles, I've put this work down in the work experience section; does that sound right? On the flipside, I've tended to leave experiences such as my work for my university's student-run legal journal out of any "work experience" sections, and instead discuss it as extra-curricular activities - is this the right thing to do?As ever, if anyone has any pointers (no matter how big or small), I'd be immensely grateful! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
