[QUOTE="TakeAChanceOnMe, post: 153080, member: 27789"] Morning all A question for you regarding CC's direct Training Contract application question. The question reads: [I]In no more than 500 words, please tell us about your extra-curricular activities, positions of responsibility and an achievement of importance which you are most proud of. How will these experiences help you excel as a Clifford Chance lawyer? Please note your interviewers will have access to this answer only at interview should you be invited to an assessment day. The rest of the assessment process is entirely CV blind.[/I] Whilst this should seem entirely self-explanatory, it leaves some questions. 1) Does this mean to say - [U]only[/U] include positions of responsibility and importance in extra-curricular activities - i.e. not from a workplace or volunteer work setting? and do not talk about the items we've listed in our work experience? That is very limiting! 2) It states the interviewers will not see our CV. If this is the case, that means most of our achievements (as noted in the work experience section) will not be visible to them, correct? That makes me WANT to mention workplace accomplishments in this essay. The accomplishments that most demonstrate my adherence to CC's core competencies all took place within professional or volunteer settings. (Those competencies are business awareness, leading and managing, problem solving with commercial insight, relationship building and networking, strong oral and written communication skills, and the ability to identify legal and business issues.) I hate to be limited to just my hobbies! Perhaps I have crossed wires, but would you push the boat out and risk talk about workplace accomplishments? Any steer here would be most appreciated.
