[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 12160, member: 1"] That's a great point and something I should have addressed in my first answer. When you look at your variety of experiences, ideally you do want to identify your most unique selling points. For example: [LIST] [*]Do you have more legal work experience than most candidates? [*]Do your experiences give you a particular edge? E.g. the business skills you gained from setting up your own business [*]Do you speak any languages that would be useful for Trowers' international practice? [/LIST] Now, they don't have to be completely unique and you can still mention skills like teamwork but differentiate yourself by discussing the variety of scenarios you have worked in a team (and how that better prepares you for the life of a law firm).
