[QUOTE="laby201, post: 151309, member: 10161"] I'm currently in the process of filling in the work experience section for a firm, and they give a 250 max word limit for each one. I have 9 experiences. Most of them are around the 120-150 word count, while others are in the 75-100 range. Will firms look negatively on not using up as much of the word count as possible? I want to try and be concise and not waffle unnecessarily but am also conscious of potentially selling myself short. Moreover, I'm leaving out extracurriculars from this section as don't think it classifies as work experience, but what would the position be on networking events? For instance, I was selected to attend Bright Network's Top 100 Year Lawyers event a few years back; is this something to include in this section or better to link later on with "why commercial law?" or similar application questions? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
