How to Write About Work Experience You Don't Think Relevant

Many candidates either skip experiences that don't feel legal enough or apologise for them without realising it. Join us for a session with Mark Dubes, a former legal graduate recruiter with over 20 years' experience who has interviewed more than 10,000 candidates, including at Mayer Brown. Mark will break down how recruiters actually read the work experience section, what they're looking for beyond job titles, and how to present any experience, including retail, in a way that genuinely strengthens your application. This session will show you how to reframe experiences you've been undervaluing, what strong candidates do differently when their CV doesn't look conventional, and how to turn a perceived weakness into a compelling part of your story.
