However, when you have more experiences at hand - it’s better to tap into them as it may look like you didn’t develop many skills from those opportunities. I worked in sales (selling shoes) and I used this experience to explain teamwork, communication and challenges. Don’t try erasing experiences you think don’t sound good - I remember a partner being super impressed with a candidate who sold Christmas lights. 2) When it comes to collaboration, most tend to think of experiences in management (however, it’s a little bit of a trap). You run the risk of providing an amazing example of leadership and ownership, without touching on what you’re like to work with as a team member. I like to frame the question from the perspective of a trainee. As a trainee, you won’t really be managing much - so show them how you deal with work that has been delegated, do you communicate, do you identify problems, do you take action on behalf of others etc. Hopefully this helps but if not, let me know and we can run through some examples.</blockquote>
