[QUOTE="Matt_96, post: 14535, member: 1260"] The main question that the Mishcon app asks is this: [I]Beyond looking for a challenging career, why do you want to be a lawyer? Why do you want to be a lawyer at Mishcon de Reya? (300 words max) [/I] I thought I had come up with a reasonable answer but looking again I think I might have missed the mark a little. I have structured my answer by dividing it into three sections of roughly 100 words each. The first half talks about a specific motivation for going into law, and the other half tries to tie that back to Mishcon in particular. I'm starting to worry my answer isn't very targeted to Mishcon though. My three motivations are that I enjoy problem-solving and enjoy the idea of working with a wide variety of people and on a wide range of projects. I have used some non-law work experience to illustrate how I know those things appeal to me. Because of word count limits, I have also decided not to include how attending open days and work shadowing helped me come to this conclusion, as I thought I could put that in the work section. I've tried to tie my motivations to three corresponding factors: Mishcon's high-profile cases, broad practice mix and small intake/diverse + interesting people. But other than the intake, I've started to realise that nothing I've chosen really does show how the firm stands out. Every firm of Mishcon's size does headline-winning work, has a wide practice range and many different types of people/clients. Am I just worrying too much? Or would it be worth just redrafting the whole thing. [/QUOTE]
