[QUOTE="Alice G, post: 30047, member: 1160"] Hi [USER=1114]@Osh[/USER] - sorry for not getting back sooner. Thank you [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] and [USER=487]@Daniel Boden[/USER] for your insights and advice! Yes, deals can be a way of discussing an interest in a firm but best to do so only if it is of genuine interest to you. For example, you might read firm news and come across a deal which relates to a sector you have worked in or followed for some time -this would be a better one to discuss and even better if you can give solid evidence as to why this interests you and substantiate this (i.e. referring to your work in the particular sector and what you enjoyed about it). It isn't advisable to refer to deals for the sake of it as it does not give the firm any insight into why it matters to you and they are trying to get to know and understand you better through the application itself. I would advise maybe researching the firm a little more and seeing what is being shared on LinkedIn and in the media as these resources can help to unearth reasons for your interest which might be more authentic to you and therefore better to discuss in an app. Best of luck and please feel free to ask any follow up questions should you have any :) [/QUOTE]
