Message: <blockquote data-quote="hannahmcgee60" data-source="post: 216373" data-attributes="member: 41994">Hi everyone, I could use some direction with a training contract application I’m currently completing. There are three questions on the application form with no option to upload a CV/cover letter.  The three questions are as follows;1. Tell us why a career in corporate law interests you? Tell us why you want to be a corporate lawyer, what appealed you about a career in law. (Maximum 300 words)2. What makes you a good candidate for *Firm Name*'s Trainee Solicitor Programme? (Maximum 300 words)3. We are keen to understand more about you and your achievements. Please share your interests and highlight any achievements. (Maximum 300 words)There is also a section for work experience, with the description;Your experience to date (what you did). Please detail three specific experiences - these can include examples from work experience, voluntary work, college or broader life experience. Please include the skills and abilities you have acquired through these experiences that will be relevant to a career in corporate law? I was planning to answer the first question by dividing 150 words to why law and 150 words to why corporate law, the second question using the firm’s core values, and the third question by linking my achievements to competencies from the job description. I was also going to link the work experiences section to more competencies from the job description.However, I can see that none of these questions are the traditional “why this firm” question. Do you think I should devote the second half of the “why corporate law” question to why that firm in particular, or is this not answering the question properly? I’m just not sure where I can show my particular interest in this firm over other firms on this application.Also, in general, do you think applicants should highlight competencies from the firm’s core values, or rather from the attributes listed in the job description for the training contract? These can often be different.</blockquote>

Verification: Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
