Sounds like you have taken the right approach!Hi, everyone!
I'd like to ask whether my approach for A&O application questions is 'correct'. The questions are quite straight forward but I am just getting confused.
Question 1
Please describe the key learnings/skills you’ve gained through work experience, positions of responsibility, personal experience, or extracurricular activities.
- For this, I used examples of when I 'innovated' a process (at work), collaborated on a campaign with a group of people, and lastly how I use 'attention to detail' when checking website articles.
Question 2
Outline how you would apply these skills to the trainee role at A&O, in order to be successful.
- Innovation - I talked about how innovative A&O is (RelativityOne) and how I would put the client first, and look for new approaches
- Collaboration - I'd have to work with many different people within the firm (so I gave an example of their recent deal where different teams were involved) but also internationally.
- Attention to detail - proof-reading etc
