Is it only paid jobs, internships, and in-person legal experience? Should I include positions of responsibility (e.g. a role at a uni society) in that section too? I’m asking this in relation to A&O Shearman (TC App), but the questions apply more broadly as well.I’ve done several Forage courses (including A&O) attended open days, insight workshops, webinars, panel presentations etc. I thought these could show my interest and commitment to a career in law, however, I’m never quite sure if these should be included under WE.For context, I’m an LLB and LLM Corporate Law grad, work full-time in financial services for alternatives (PE, RE etc.), but I have almost no legal work experience. I’m wondering whether including these courses/events in my WE section would be beneficial.Also, how many experiences is too many if the firm doesn’t have a limit and are bullet points for this section a ‘no-go’?[USER=42112]@Abbie Whitlock[/USER] [USER=36777]@Andrei Radu[/USER] [USER=1]@Jaysen[/USER] Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!</blockquote>
