Message: <blockquote data-quote="George Maxwell" data-source="post: 95428" data-attributes="member: 17165">Hi [USER=18802]@Darth Vader[/USER],Welcome to the forum!  🚀 Tagging [USER=16764]@James Carrabino[/USER] who has significant experience reviewing applications for his perspective.I would say that three examples in a 300 word answer is too many. I would have struggled to go into the required depth and development of each example in 100 words. So my first piece of advice is think about reducing the number of examples you are including.I would also caution you that by using multiple examples you are technically going beyond what the question is asking. From what you have said, the question wants you to provide "an example". Personally I would have just stuck to one if when I was applying because this might suggest that the firm wants a single thoroughly developed example.With regards to linking to the firm, I often did do this in my answers, even if the question did not explicitly ask for it. This is a personal choice though and as [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] says, this is already contained within the question. If you were to do this make sure it is a non-generic link (i.e., it adds very little to say something along the lines of "this ability to work in a team would be useful when I become a trainee at the firm". A link needs to be specific to really add something.Hope that helps and as always please do ask any follow-ups if anything I have written is unclear 😊</blockquote>
