[QUOTE="Naomi U, post: 49817, member: 4043"] Hi [USER=1107]@Lauren[/USER] I think I would approach questions like these as "how would someone who knows you well" describe you rather than a "friend". My reasoning for this is I think that if you focus too closely on the word friend, then rather than offering a general description/insight as to the type of person you are, you end up offering insight into the type of friend you are. Whilst the latter will show great traits such as the ones you suggested, they won't always reveal traits that a particularly relevant to the role you are applying for. So on this note, I think it's important to strike a balance between offering personal insight but maintaining a focus on the traits relevant to the role of a solicitor. Hope this helps!:) [/QUOTE]
