Message: <blockquote data-quote="vera.mekhonoshina" data-source="post: 216409" data-attributes="member: 30780">Hi [USER=41994]@hannahmcgee60[/USER], Let's break this down step by step! For the first question 'Tell us why a career in corporate law interests you? Tell us why you want to be a corporate lawyer, what appealed to you about a career in law', I would focus solely on commercial law. I would pick 2-3 points maximum and link each of them to your past experiences to demonstrate that these aspects of the firm truly interest you. 'What makes you a good candidate for *Firm Name*'s Trainee Solicitor Programme?' - this is the question where you can truly show your research on the firm, and hence demonstrate your interest. I would try to pick very specific aspects to really showcase the depth of your understanding. You are also correct in saying that you would need to back your arguments with examples from your experiences <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> 'We are keen to understand more about you and your achievements. Please share your interests and highlight any achievements. (Maximum 300 words)' - with this question, I would be as authentic as possible. I would not say that you necessarily have to link or adapt your interests to what the firm is looking for. You are better off talking about your achievements in a lot of detail and possibly reflecting on what they taught you. I would focus your competencies on the firm's 'who we are looking for' section, to answer your final question! I hope this helps. Best of luck with your application!</blockquote>
