[QUOTE="abbiewhitlock03, post: 207491, member: 26521"] Hi! I’m not sure if this is Farrer, but I applied for their vac scheme which has similar / same questions and I got to AC. I sort of divided it into: How do you fill your time outside of work and studying and why? - I spoke about my hobbies and interests (e.g. reading, instruments, sports, extra-curricular etc). I spoke about skills it taught me less here, as the question doesn’t really ask for it and I wanted to save that for the later questions. What positions of responsibility have you held and what skills have you developed as a result? - things like if you have been on the committee for a society, extra-curricular projects done at uni, working part time jobs, volunteering What skills have you developed which are transferable - sort of expanding on the above, but relate it to skills a trainee / solicitor needs. So, work experience (law and non-law), university work and maybe balancing priorities (i.e. if u work whilst studying). There is definitely some overlap, but I just tried to talk about different skills in each. Sorry for jumping in randomly lol! [/QUOTE]
