[QUOTE="James Carrabino, post: 91066, member: 16764"] I think [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER]'s advice is spot on. Personally, I only elaborated and used the full word count for work experience examples where I had a lot to talk about that I thought was directly relevant to the role I was applying to (e.g. specific pieces of work I did on vac schemes). When I mentioned my part-time pub job right after leaving school I just said that I worked front of house and enjoyed engaging with customers. I did not try to really milk all the possible competencies and skills out of my answer - they could infer what I learnt from that role. I learnt a huge amount from that job but it is reasonably well-known what the responsibilities of a bartender are so I did not feel a need to elaborate too much. [/QUOTE]
