[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 189387, member: 36777"] Hey [USER=30665]@helloj[/USER] I have actually written a very detailed post on a closely related topic - someone else asked guidance for how to approach the same question, but for the purposes of an interview rather than an application from answer. I have quoted it bellow, as I think almost everything I discussed is equally applicable to the application form question. In the quoted post, you will also find an example of a good and bad answer. Besides the more analysis in the post, I will quickly reiterate what I think is the most important takeaway advice to write a great answer here: [LIST=1] [*][B][B]When researching the firm, identify what are Goodwin's two or three major unique selling points (USPs) from your perspective.[/B][/B] [*][B][B]Have two or three different paragraphs in which you explain why you are attracted to that kind of USP (ie why you are interested in a particular practice area/sector, why a specific training style suits you etc). [/B][/B] [*][B][B]In each of the two or three paragraphs then list the firms that come closest to Goodwin in terms of scoring well in that relevant criterion and that you have also actually applied to.[/B][/B] [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
