[QUOTE="Zaidoz10, post: 175277, member: 19564"] Hi [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend. I have two questions regarding an application I’m making to a firm in the Middle East if you don’t mind: 1. The application has two written response questions and they’re “Why are you interested in this position?” And “What interests you in a career at our firm?” These questions are kind of similar so I decided to focus on different points for each one. For the first one, I focused on why my academic and personal background (being from the Middle East and having lived here my whole life) sparked my interest in the firm, the firm’s overall coverage in the region and its training quality. For the second question I focused on 5 of the firm’s practice areas and explained why they interest me and how the firm excels in them and how that all ties to my development as a lawyer. Would you say this is a good approach I am taking? I am trying my best to not be repetitive in my responses as these questions are similar. 2. My second question is regarding the word count. There is no max word limit on the application questions. What is a good range to stay in? I’ve written 600 words for each as of right now. Is that too much? So sorry for the long message. Thank you!
