Linklaters Get Ahead - Cover Letter help

[floral.tcla]

hey! I was just wondering if anyone in the past has applied for this/if anyone would be happy to share advice on how to ensure this is successful - I'm great at the watson glaser but terrible at written answers. I've applied to a lot of VSs at international firms and I know they're very competitive but the written questions are my weak point, so it'd be great to hear from others (and helpful for others). thanks!

it should just be one page, outline why linklaters and why commercial law, and it should be:

• specific to the firm
• specific to you

the application form advises:
'

• Brief overview of academic, extra-curricular and work achievements
• Why are you interested in a career in commercial law?
• Why Linklaters?'
