    Thanks, Axel. I included prof services as my sector of interest and then discussed employment and quality of training as separate motivations for my application. Happy to have it done and dusted now :)

    Thanks, Axel! Sorry, I have another question about this question! How many sectors should I bring in? I think I have focused too heavily on the first limb of the question and have brought in other reasons why I think the firm would be a good fit for me (whilst also linking to my skills). For...

    Completely agree! I see all of my past rejections as a step closer towards the end goal. Each year, I've got further and further through the application process. It does take time!

I'm also planning on doing a lot of direct TC apps...
