[QUOTE="axelbeugre, post: 150624, member: 30937"] What I used to do was: [LIST] [*]Mention practice areas the firm excels at. [*]Mention any personal interaction I had with the firm (if any but this is not required in the slightest) like open days/ insight days or people I spoke to that were comfortable with me mentioning them in my application [*]Talk about interesting cases the firm has worked on that sparked your interest and always relate them back to you [*]Mention some clients that you would love to work for if you join the firm (I would say this is a tricky one cause many firms work with the same clients, so I would research very nuanced reasons as to why those particular clients interest you specifically) [*]Talk about the training contract structure [*]Mention any international opportunities they may have [*]Talk about their diversity initiatives/ pro bono opportunities if these are some things you care about [/LIST] These are some of the things I used to include more or less, I am sure there are many more but I hope these are helpful. I would say that the main thing is try to always relate every reason you are mentioning back to you, your background and your overall profile, as that will make you stand out as a candidate. Good luck with the application cycle [USER=15269]@NJS[/USER] [/QUOTE]
