[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 226799, member: 42112"] Hey! If there's no stated word limit, then what you are doing sounds perfectly reasonable (and would be how I would approach it!). Short-term experiences usually don't need as much detail - simply a brief overview of what you did, key responsibilities, and any skills gained. It's better to keep it short and concise rather than adding filler words for the sake of it. For longer or more substantial roles, going beyond 200 words makes sense, especially if you are describing responsibilities, achievements, and what you learned from the experience. Just make sure that it is clear and relevant - quality over quantity is what matters most. As a guideline, I would think about impact and relevance rather than word count. If you've clearly conveyed what you did and why it matters, you've probably written the right amount! :) [/QUOTE]
