[QUOTE="Ram Sabaratnam, post: 189622, member: 36738"] Hiya [USER=28506]@KBanana[/USER] 👀 I think including a training-related point in paragraph 2 sounds like a solid idea. It shows you’re also considering a range of factors for joining the firm. As for paragraph 1, discussing three practice areas in one paragraph could work. My main worry is that it might end up sounding a bit rushed, especially given the 200-word limit. Transactional practice areas can vary significantly, and without enough detail, there’s a risk of your answer coming across as too broad or superficial. For instance, restructuring, banking and finance, and corporate M&A all involve different kinds of challenges and client needs, so it’s worth being careful not to paper over those distinctions. Personally, I’ve found it more effective to focus on one or two practice areas and really connect them to my experiences or interests. By providing a specific example (e.g. a project I worked on, research I conducted, or previous work experience), I was able to demonstrate my interest in those areas in a way that felt personal and genuine. That being said, I’d be curious to hear what [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] [USER=36777]@Andrei Radu[/USER] and [USER=36740]@Amma Usman[/USER] think too. They'll likely have a different perspective on this in terms of both style and content. Good luck with your application! [/QUOTE]
