    How to approach this aspect of a 'why us question' - Career ambitions

    Do you interpret 'ambitions' in this context as speaking about working up the ladder so to speak ( I feel like speaking about wanting to make it to partner etc might come across badly) or more based around what you're actually looking for in a job?

    How to approach this aspect of a 'why us question' - Career ambitions

    I was doing the Macfarlanes app and as part of the pretty standard why us question they add "Please explain why you are applying to Macfarlanes and what your career ambitions are." What do you think this adds to the question/ how should it change the answer from the standard why us format?
