[QUOTE="Ahi88, post: 40907, member: 5225"] This is a very tricky question because your previous application to K&E progressed you through to the video interview stage and you do not want to fall in the trap of 'reinventing the wheel'. Personally, I think some questions warrant themselves to be changed/amended more than others. For example, if the question of "Why law", "Why this firm" or "Which practice area appeals to you" ever comes up, you most definitely should change them to comment on how your recent experiences such as your vac scheme and summer internship have contributed towards your motivations up to the point that you are applying. With questions like "what is your proudest achievement", I think it would be fine to keep this largely the same. However, what may be altered or changed could perhaps be the structure and how it may read. Although your content may be fine, there is always room for improvement on every single application ti ensure that what you are saying is conveyed in the best way possible. I have personally applied to a few firms with largely the same application but have tweaked how my subsequent experience has contributed towards my motivations. I actually obtained a TC from two firms I applied to twice so it shows that it can be possible! Just be sure to concentrate on showing your best side because everything can be improved the second time. A lot can happen within a year so focus on the new experiences you have obtained over the summer and how you have grown since your last application. [/QUOTE]
