[QUOTE="Gareth Sloman, post: 11644, member: 1526"] Hello everyone, I'm working on a training contract application to Paul Hastings and I'm having a bit of trouble with one of the questions. The question is 'Why are your skills/attributes suited to a career at Paul Hastings? Why should we offer you a Training Contract?' On the surface, it seems fairly straight forward but after thinking about it, its a little more difficult than it appears. I thought about highlighting a few of the firm's standout characteristics and explaining why certain skills I have developed would be suitable and relate to their firm - and then evidencing these skills with things I've done. For example, the firm executes many complex multijurisdictional transactions. Therefore, organisation skills are needed to keep up with legal developments and to be able to manage and prioritise heavy, complicated caseloads. I would then back up my organisational skills with something I've done and then hopefully I would have covered the 'why are my skills suited' part of the question. I'm pretty lost on how to tackle the 'why should we offer you a training contract' part of the question. To add to the difficulty, you only get 200 words! Any advice with be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
