[QUOTE="Daniel Boden, post: 4572, member: 487"] Haha no worries happy to help. Figured it is easier to just say what my approach to the application was, so here it is: For 'your achievements' I didn't mention any skills per se but talked about examples using the star format - the skills can be inferred from those examples e.g. public speaking and communication. For 'interests' I talked about my love of sport and gave a couple of star examples but then just described other hobbies I have e.g. reading. For the 'why Macfarlanes' I wrote how I am interested in the firm's private equity practice, how I enjoyed attending the first year insight day with the firm but clearly mentioned in my final paragraph what my career ambitions were. For qualities, I looked at the key qualities they explicitly mentioned in their graduate recruitment brochure and then gave star examples for them. Specifically, I gave one example which demonstrated determination, resilience and team work skills and then the other was having good communication skills as these were explicitly mentioned in the brochure. My Cover letter was why law and I mentioned other skills I have (that I hadn't included already) with a couple of star examples in a letter format too. I hope this helps! Dan [/QUOTE]
