[QUOTE="hannahmcgee60, post: 216441, member: 41994"] [USER=40237]@ZNadeem[/USER] Ah OK, thank you! I agree that focusing on commercial law will keep it relevant. My apologies for all the questions, but I was also wondering how I should approach the second "what makes you a good candidate for the firm's trainee programme" question. Would you advise tailoring it to the firm; 1. By taking the competencies listed in the trainee solicitor job description and writing a PEAL/STAR based answer on how I demonstrate each of these qualities. or 2. Should I link a USP of the firm (eg their approach to tech/innovation, their practice area strengths) to my own experiences and why this interests me. To me, this approach might seem like more of an answer to a "why this firm" type question? To me, this question seems like a strength-based question rather than a motivation-based question and so I am leaning towards the first option but I am rather unsure. Finally, for the third question about my achievements and interests, do you think I need to link these to the firm's desired competencies or should I try to be authentic in discussing what they taught me and the qualities I developed from them? Thank you so much for your help so far, it is greatly appreciated! [/QUOTE]
