[QUOTE="Amanda, post: 10389, member: 1393"] Hello Everyone, I was just wondering for the "Why you should chose me" section of a cover letter, how detailed to I need to be? At the moment I have listed skills that I posses that the firm has stated they are looking for on their website. I have then stated how I have demonstrated these skills with brief examples. So for example ..."I am a good team player as I played a team sport " ... which has developed my communication skills. Another example I gave for being proactive was during my work experience I would start new tasks without being prompted etc. I didn't go into much detail as to what the tasks were- is this something I should be doing. I am also slightly concerned that my answers revolve too much around law related activities. Should I also say what else I do in my spare time even though this is in the CV? Many thanks :) [/QUOTE]
