[QUOTE="Alice G, post: 11476, member: 1160"] Hi there and thank you for such great questions! I am so glad to hear you are progressing in your apps! I have a document with my work experience sections written which tend to highlight what I did in a role whilst linking this back to trainee skills, just as you suggest. I try to be quite specific with this and try to develop this too - so when I talk about emotional intelligence as being important in one of my roles I state how this is crucial in a lawyer when you are serving a client and also for when it comes to being a good colleague too. I also use specific examples,, such as when I had some journalism experience and I did a full edit of an article without being asked to prove my enthusiasm, to then talk about how enthusiasm is essential in a trainee in terms of bolstering team morale etc. I hope that makes sense but I basically started with a word document with a long long list of skills and desirabilities in a trainee and ensured I got everything into my work experience sections by being as specific as possible. I do cater my work experience sections to law firms because it gives you more opportunity to demonstrate your research and your suitability! Really hope this makes sense and is helpful and feel free to ask any further questions, I am happy to answer them :) [/QUOTE]
