Hey [USER=36353]@floral.tcla[/USER] I recently reviewed someone's answer to this question and they had previously managed to speak with a graduate recruiter about it at a Clifford Chance event. The recruiter's advice was the following:

  1. You should take around 200 words to ensure you properly elaborate on the achievement of importance and make sure you explain the reason it is your proudest accomplishment.
  2. Take the rest 300 words to go through at least one extra curricular and one position of responsibility. Use the STAR structure and be very specific in describing the exact things you did.
  3. Whenever possible, quantify your results and explain your performance in the context of how competitive it was.
  4. Explain the relevance of each of the experiences you mention for the day to day job of a trainee/junior associate, and when possible make links to the specific features of Clifford Chance that distinguish it from other firms.


Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
