I am applying to Fairleigh Dickinson's paralegal program. I already have a job as a legal assistant and I do most of the work that a paralegal does. I want to get certified and I know Fairleigh is one of the best places to go. I have under 60 credits so I need to fill out a life experience resume including all legal work I have done, and I wasn't sure how I should write that? Should I format it as a normal resume? Or in essay form (there is already an essay that I have to do for the application which is different.)
Thank you in advance for the help.

I'd format it as a normal resume, especially since you have work experience, and work experience that's directly related to the field.
