[QUOTE="Afraz Akhtar, post: 234439, member: 43563"] Hey [USER=41700]@solicitor_2028[/USER] personally, I see no harm in being a little repetitive when it comes to things like work experience or activities, as for many these may be a little limited - so the key differentiator here would be not the experience itself, but the takeaway, so what you've done within that role or situation and how its developed you. Now, this question looks to go beyond work and academics, so its about your extracurriculars, whether thats volunteering work/society work/competitions/hobbies etc. The firm wants to know in a nutshell what you do outside of this legal bubble, so talk about your passions. I know historic applicants have talked about podcasts they've started, or journals they've written - and I think its a great idea to tie these into any achievements you've gained from having done so e.g. achieved 1000 monthly listeners etc. [/QUOTE]
