[QUOTE="axelbeugre, post: 163154, member: 30937"] Hey [USER=27653]@Vic.99[/USER], In that case I would not focus on the quantity of experiences or skills but choose a couple and dive deeper into why those experiences and skills developed make you the best candidate. This will allow you to talk about yourself and the most important skills that you feel distinguish you from your peers. You do not necessarily need to mention a lot of skills or experiences to be effective in this question so be selective and choose the best skills that will make you an amazing future lawyer. It should not be a list of experiences or skills I totally agree with this. It should rather be a story of the skills you have developed that will make you a competent future lawyer. An example can be: ''[I]I believe that my past experiences gave me the opportunity to acquire both soft and hard skills that will be very useful to me as a commercial solicitor. Working as a X at X organisation developed my attention to details and communication skills (and you describe briefly what you did). Moreover, interning at Y allowed me to develop legal research and drafting skills, (and you proceed describing your tasks)[/I].'' This is how I used to approach the why me section. I hope this is helpful and good luck with the application! [/QUOTE]
