[QUOTE="Helena, post: 7396, member: 32"] So the second part of the question is clearly where you focus on why a boutique firm and why you are suited to a role in that firm. But the first part is a 'tell me about yourself' . It's a chance to pitch and sell yourself. Although you have mentioned that uni attended is on another part of the form, there is no harm in being concise and saying here that you chose to study X subject because... and perhaps modules you have particularly enjoyed, excelled at and match skills that you use/used in your degree through research etc which are paramount for a trainee. If you have any legal work experience that you want to mention you could tie that in. e.g. If you have done any pro bono at university, work involved and why you enjoy it. Then possibly a sentence about your other skills like good communicator, team player - backed up of course with examples. Just some ideas. See what others think. [/QUOTE]
