[QUOTE="keepmewherethelightis, post: 92036, member: 16556"] Hi! I was struggling with a few aspects of approaching the work experience section - It would be very helpful if someone could help me with it. :) While approaching a legal internship, is it more appropriate/alright to explain your work involved, and derive/emphasis more on the skills learnt in one particular long term assignment; or talk about multiple assignments you handled during that internship? For example, if my internship involved in working extensively on one long-term transaction for 2 weeks; and a few other shorter assignments, is it okay if I focus more on properly explaining what my work entailed in the long term assignment; or should I also ensure that I set aside some word count for the other tasks that I handled? The long term assignment in most cases requires a deeper understanding of a matter; while the short term assignments I'm referring to are tasks such as proofreading agreements, research propositions, etc. Due to this, I thought of explaining the particular long term (high value transaction) assignment and the work involved more closely, and choosing to leave out the smaller tasks. Is it okay to just focus on one most-important assignment in the internship and devote the entire word count to that? If it helps - I have multiple work experiences and could include other small-term yet important tasks like proofreading, researching, collating lists etc. in the other work experience entries that I fill out. Thank you so much! :) [/QUOTE]
