Clifford Chance have chosen to be a bit radical this year by asking applicants (I believe it's their only question?):

You have told us about your academic achievements and work experience and now, in no more than 600 words, we are keen to hear more about you. This should include your extra-curricular activities, positions of responsibility and an achievement of importance which you are most proud of.

I get that this question will need a systematic approach, ticking off each point as it asks you to above. BUT, what about the writing style? I want it to flow well, almost like a story, but is this a requirement? Should I attempt to link everything so it becomes a painted picture of me, or should I be systematic and answer each bit like a check-list, attempting to make what I'm saying clear-cut and readable?

Let me know what you guys think!
