[QUOTE="ZNadeem, post: 216153, member: 40237"] Hi! I fully echo the fantastic advice above, especially regarding open day applications. Regarding work experience entries, particularly where there is a word limit, I’d recommend focusing mainly on describing what you did and how you did it, rather than overwhelming the section with long lists of skills — the skills will usually come through naturally from the description. If there isn’t a word limit, you can add a short separate paragraph highlighting 1–2 key skills you gained and linking them directly to how they’d benefit you as a trainee. [/QUOTE]
