[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 5502, member: 1"] Good question. While we don't review work experience in applications, I've seen so many different approaches to this section. Back when I approached this, I would always go for the concise summary of my responsibilities. It was my view that firms wanted your "pitch" in the application questions, whereas the purpose of the work experience section was to get a to-the-point overview of what you've been up to. That said, I've seen many students use this section to talk about what they learned/the skills they developed. I can't say I know whether firms prefer one over the other. Although, I did hear Shearman's graduate recruiter recommending students write about what they learned in one of his videos. Personally, I don't think it matters too much and the structure you suggested seems fine. I'd be interested to hear everyone else's thoughts on this though. [/QUOTE]
