Eversheds Strength Based Application

Hi Guys, hope everyone is well

Evershed Sutherland uses a strength based application form, so their questions are all based around different strengths (obviously) as opposed to motivational questions or commercial questions. I was just wondering, other than linking examples back to the firm's values/ skills they look for, how else can I link my application to the firm specifically?

I found it difficult to tie the firm into this application when I completed it, but if there still is the situational judgment question then I tried to mention some aspect of commercial awareness/firm knowledge within that question! Other than that, just focus on strengths because this firm values that the most in their applicants.
