Leveraging all your experiences would be a great first step. If there are any niche skills that also apply to a particular firm you are applying to, its worth including them as well. Lastly, you are right in suggesting that the workload and hours are more intense. However, with the right mindset and approach, I‘m sure you’ll do a great job. We’re rooting for you! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile&nbsp; &nbsp; :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
