Mention skills gained?

[Guest]

Ive basically finished my P.S and decided that i'll study an economics related degree. So far, ive decided that im gonna apply to LSE, UCL, Warwick and SOAS and was just wondering that would you need to mention the skills that you gain from for example, volunteering?...or work experience in ur personal statement? as i believe that naming these are a little repetitive..and really do seem like a waste of the limited amount of writing space... what do you think???
