[QUOTE="bob, post: 5491, member: 1069"] what do you write in this section? is it purely a quick summary of your responsibilities or should you also use the space to talk about the skills you developed and knowledge you acquired. Some firms even provide a 250w limit for writing about details of the job (which is quite a lot!). Would something like this work or am i writing too much: (Details of responsibilities/ role) I had so and so responsibility at X. i had to produce Y and liase with Z. Additionally, i had to do C.. (What i learned) Working at x has provided me a,b,c,d. Moreover, I witnessed first-hand e, as well as f, etc (what i contributed/something that shows i wasn't just passive) Having never worked in this sector, i was thrown into the deep end from the first day ....stimulated i did so and so to be on top of things...doing so and so i was given more responsibility and became valued member of the team...etc. Lastly, does volunteer work done within an organisation with rigid hours (i.e. the RNLI) count as work experience or does it have to go under extra-curriculars? Any thoughts/discussion would be great! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
