[QUOTE="Lian Lian, post: 96468, member: 10346"] Hi Jessica [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER]! I hope you're doing well. I am planning to apply for a direct TC with Freshfields but I do not know if I should recycle aspects of my previous personal statement to the firm which was successful at the initial application stage. In my personal statement last year, I mentioned 1. why I wanted to pursue a career in commercial law 2. why I wanted to work at Freshfields 3. why I'd be a great fit for the firm (ie demonstrating my skills using STAR) I must have done something right because the firm subsequently invited me to do the WG. I unfortunately failed at this stage. I am now planning to reapply for their direct TC and I was wondering, [B]to what extent should I recycle my previous personal statement?[/B] I have rewritten the entire competency section to accurately reflect the new skills and experiences I have acquired in the past year. However, I am unsure how much I should alter my 'why law' and 'why freshfields' section because my reasons for law and for Freshfields have remained the same. I would appreciate anyone's advice on this, in addition to Jessica's. Thanks a lot! [/QUOTE]
