[QUOTE="Lumree, post: 73211, member: 1532"] Hi team, I'm currently completing this question for an application: [I]"Please complete below your “letter of application” setting out why you would like to attend [ ] Vacation Scheme and what you believe you could bring to the firm in the long term (max 250 words)"[/I] I've split this question into three: why I want a career at the firm, how I can learn more about the firm through the vacation scheme, and what I could bring to the firm in the longterm. Would you approach it in a similar way? My concern is that the first part, which explores why I'm particularly interested in the firm's sector focus and therefore more widely a career at the firm, isn't directly answering the question as it's not tied back to why a vacation scheme at the firm. However, my rationale is that my first sentence explains that I am applying for the vacation scheme to learn more about a [U]career [/U]at the firm. In my head, it makes sense then use the first paragraph to explain why I'm actually interested in the firm before going onto the second paragraph which explores how I can learn more about a career at the firm through the vacation scheme (i.e. its practice areas). I think I've been staring at it too long! I would really appreciate a different perspective just to check if I'm on/off the mark here. Thank you! [/QUOTE]
