[QUOTE="Dolores, post: 8470, member: 1076"] I agree with Daniel, but I would also encourage you to look up the firm's individual prompts and lengths. 250 is standard but be prepared for shorter lengths too. Jones Day allows 75 words only. Sometimes the instructions are simply "Details," other times, the prompt can be: "Details (nature of work, responsibilities, achievements and skills gained). Additionally, firms (like Shearman) specify that they want you to link how the skills who gained are applicable to law and expect a paragraph in prose per experience. I used bullet points in some early applications, but I'm not sure if that is good practice. [/QUOTE]
