The "Do I have a chance?" thread again...

[sara7000]

thnx again, just wanted to ask that e.g do I just say "The CAA mentoring programme has increased my patience" or should I first say WHat I did? Where and WHEn? It takes more space obv if I have to add those details in aswell. Right now I didnot even mention the lengths I have been doing the experience for (if tht makes sense? because I was told at a UCAS assembly not to) and just what I learned and not much about what I did aswell.

You could just say a brief thing of what your duties were and what you took from it? Don't bother with the where and when lol
