Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pearl3181" data-source="post: 231276" data-attributes="member: 40440">Hi trainees!I’m working on the Farrer VS application, which asks: “In what ways have your academic studies, qualifications, and work experience equipped you for a legal career?”I've already described my professional experiences in the work experiences section of the application (1. content redesign project at HuffPost, 2. product marketing role at a tech company, 3. communications coordinator at a literary non-profit) in standard CV point form that details my day-to-day tasks and results. For this application question, I’m unsure whether it would be better to:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Expand on those same roles, focusing on specific instances where I demonstrate transferrable legal skills (have it drafted and ready to go) or</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Introduce different experiences not on my CV, such as:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">My PGDL studies, where I managed eight subjects over eight months and achieved distinction -- hoping to demonstrate time management / resilience here</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Founding a student start-up, EasyWaste, leading a team, developing an MVP, and pitching to investors -- this would demonstrate motivation and drive</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">My freelance content design practice in San Francisco, where I redesigned small business websites and worked closely with clients -- this would demonstrate client-facing communication skills and analytical skills.</li> </ul></li> </ol>Would it be more effective to go into legal-specific detail on my professional roles, or to bring in new experiences here? Thanks in advance for any guidance!</blockquote>
