Is it alright to list work experience as reasons in 'why law' for a cover letter even if work experience is separately covered in another part of the application form?

You don't need to explain what you did in the work experience as that is covered elsewhere, but you can explain how that work experience has shaped your career motivations.

OMG Kennedys SST test invite finally some good news.

 

[Adrian_S]

Congrats on getting through to the next stage of the Kennedys application, friends!

When answering the question why this firm and when you state I am interested in this firm because of their strength in for example litigation. Is it okay to mention only 1 experience or can you state I am interested in litigation because of my experience at this open day and then say further developed my interest in litigation by doing this work as a paralegal. I mean is it good to state 2 exposures to the area of law or is 1 point okay. Sorry if this is confusing.
