[QUOTE="George Maxwell, post: 93305, member: 17165"] Hi [USER=3660]@Casual[/USER], I know that [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] has already touched on this, but I thought that I would say, from the way you have phrased "this will be useful at X" is not adding anything at all to the answer. You want each sentence in an application to tell the recruiter/reviewer something new or interesting. This sentence seems redundant in this instance (other than perhaps that you have not just copied and pasted your form with no edits). It is implied that (you think) Y skill will be useful at X firm, as you are writing this in your application to X. So I would use those words elsewhere if I were you. Hope that helps 👾 Hi [USER=4098]@futuretraineesolicitor[/USER]! Just to add to Jessica's advice, looking at the firm's LinkedIn page is sometimes useful too. Firm websites do not always get updated regularly. I tried, largely, to steer clear of mentioning this sort of thing and stuck to C&Ps rankings. The Legal 500 is also useful in my experience too.
