[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 183526, member: 36777"] I definitely agree with [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER]'s answer. I think it would be best to avoid discussing the same experiences and achievements. I would choose the most relevant experiences for "Why commercial law?", "Why the firm?", "Why me to?" and discuss them in detail in the cover letter. I would not choose more than 1-2 relevant experiences for each section. Subsequently, I would discuss all the experiences and achievements that are left when answering the second question on the form. I used this approach last year and my application was progressed. However, if after putting a lot of thought into it you find that you still do not have enough experiences to discuss separately in the two answers, I would still avoid pure repetition. Rather, after writing the cover letter, I would try to think of all the aspects and information related to my experiences that I hadn't written there and I would focus on that when answering the second question. That way, your answer will still add some value to your application by giving the graduate recruitment team more detailed insight into your achievements and skills. [/QUOTE]
