[QUOTE="Amma Usman, post: 193872, member: 36740"] Hey [USER=35138]@Unknowncabbage[/USER] , If you’re mentioning a training point, you need to be unequivocally clear why it appeals, largely because any candidate can mention this. The way you create a solid answer on this is by providing examples from your life/professional experiences. For example, if a firm has a small intake and you want to touch on that, ask yourself why it does? With little words per application question, every sentence needs to be one of high value. Thus, you can provide an example of how you thrived in a similar environment. Any feedback you received? Did it give you higher responsibility early on? What did you take away from the experience and why is [B]that the type of [/B]training culture you want. Therefore, training is generic [B][I]only[/I][/B] depending on how you explain it and link it back to yourself. Secondly, I always personally mention practice areas first since at the end of the day, the work should be the primary drawing factor. Again, many firms have similar practices, so you will need to touch on why that appeals. If you’re to mention a deal, also ensure to not just [B]drop [/B]it, but answer why it specifically draws you the the firm - since again, many deals will be similar across firms. Focusing on a niche or a breakout deal within a sector could be a good starting point if you can softly differentiate it from the work seen at other firms, and why that’ll be the ideal place to train.
