[QUOTE="Sandrou, post: 4948, member: 31"] Point to note, I never added a cover letter. However some people may choose to do so, it's a matter of preference really. To answer your question [USER=23]@Salma[/USER], I did not link my 600 word answer to CC. The question asks about YOU! And therefore you should answer what the question asks. As mentioned above, the firm really look at your writing style, hence why I mentioned that there should be ZERO typos and errors etc. Thousands and thousands of people apply to CC and therefore if the Watson Glaser doesn't cut out the majority of those people, poorly written applications and small errors will undoubtedly result in rejection. Bare in mind, CC operate a blind Assessment Centre. I.e., Competency interview and Case study/Presentation with Partners. The Partners do NOT get a chance to see your application or CV. As such, this allows you to completely sell yourself and drive the interview in your favour (The case study heavily focuses on commercial awareness nonetheless and is fairly complex). As such, plenty of discretion lies with the Grad team to pick the very best candidates on paper to appear in front of the Partners. A well written application with a variety of Extra-Curriculars and positions of responsibility coupled with strong 'Achievement' will go a long way. [/QUOTE]
