Charles Russell Speechlys Application Question

" You have just stepped into an elevator with the managing partner of Charles Russell Speechlys. What three key points would you want them to know about you and why?" 200 words

Considering that I have already answered questions regarding why I want to be a solicitor and what areas of law am I interested in and the achievement I am most proud of, what points could be raised here?

Thank you!!

    Since it hasn't been asked already, this reads to me like a question about what qualities you can bring to the role. Just choose three skills you have developed throughout your life/work experience and explain how they would be beneficial to being a solicitor.
