[QUOTE="Maymoonah, post: 3750, member: 416"] 1. Instead of writing about the impact of the piece on the firm, you could indirectly highlight how the issue affects the firm's practice. For example, if the firm you're applying to specialises in Energy, Trade and Sanctions - you could discuss the US-China Trade War, how it impacts commodities, its implications on oil prices and the issues with the Iranian market. This covers all the major areas for the firm, and also highlights your commercial awareness. 2. Don't be afraid to use statistics. If you have read a useful article on Bloomberg or an FT report that includes a statistic on M&A activity in a country, use that to leverage the fact that you have a broader understanding of the markets that the firm operations in. 3. I would also recommend structuring your answer to address three specific implications as opposed to broadly (and vaguely) discussing the impact of an issue. [/QUOTE]
