Message: <blockquote data-quote="Selina" data-source="post: 9242" data-attributes="member: 759">For my applications, I typically wrote 100-150 words for each work experience about my main responsibilities and any memorable tasks undertaken in that role (if it was a short work experience). I also mentioned how I obtained the role if it didn't ask already! I didn't usually use the STAR method. Finally, in a couple of lines at the end, I wrote how this related to my motivation for law or for that particular firm - e.g. working in a small office with a collegiate culture relates to firms with a small trainee intake (use the law firm's name); working in retail improved my understanding of customer relations, as well as how a business operates; attending law fairs/campus presentations helped me gain insight into different types of firms; etc.Re. repetition - try not to repeat anything that you've written in your application answers. Write these first as these take precedence - put your most important points about what you did and what you learnt here. If you want to flag up a particular scenario then I would use the STAR method. Anything else that you think would be relevant to mention can go in the above work experience sections (also saves on word count in your answers).This is just how I did it - hope it helps! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>

Verification: Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
