[QUOTE="George Maxwell, post: 113581, member: 17165"] Hi [USER=8601]@Bradley Draper[/USER], I would be interested to hear [USER=16764]@James Carrabino[/USER]'s thoughts on this as he may well have reviewed some B&B applications during his time as an application reviewer! When I was applying I interpreted the short word count as being a challenge set by the firm to write clear and succinct responses. My advice would be to try as best you can to concentrate on one (given the wordcount) thoroughly developed point (rather than two or three). Including fewer points should force you to: 1. fully engage with the question and 2. provide convincing and thoroughly well-reasoned answers. I agree with you though, I think that the firm are likely to rely on your work experience section too as they have given you so little space. This means that writing well-structured and clear work experience sections is also important. I honestly forget whether B&B set a word limit on the work experience section? When I was applying, generally I structured my work experience sections in this way: 1. Description of job/role and tasks; 2. Skills/competencies learned/demonstrated through job/tasks; 3. Why this is important for X firm/being a commercial solicitor. Let me know if you would like to chat about this any further as I would be delighted to help. [/QUOTE]
