Hi Iris,


The more specific you are the better. I'd suggest really honing in on one specific sector, reading about both the challenges/opportunities facing that sector and then tying that into how different practice areas at OC can provide advice on those issues or help clients capitalise on those opportunities. Being too vague about the sector/the opportunity isn't going to demonstrate the commercial awareness/research firms want.


Going to link you to a couple of existing threads on the OC app here (these don't necessarily deal with the question you're talking about but could help you anyway with the app):
