Message: <blockquote data-quote="Andrei Radu" data-source="post: 210189" data-attributes="member: 36777">I think the 'Why law' and 'Why you' sections should not end up being too different from responses you would write in traditional law firm cover letters. The 'Why Accutrainee' part will however end up looking more unique, as Accutrainee operates a unique TC model which involves seconding its trainees for periods lasting from 3 to 12 months to various law firms and companies with in house positions. Three main benefits of that include (i) an opportunity to experience work and training in a variety of organizations, which can make for a more interesting TC experience and might mean you will be in a more informed position to decide what you want to do post-qualification; (ii) a higher likelihood of getting exposure to substantive legal work, as companies and law firms will only use Accutrainee when they have a shortage of trainees for their projects; and (iii) an opportunity to make connections in many businesses and expand your professional network.In terms of drawbacks, this TC might be more unpredictable than the traditional one and will necessitate an ability to integrate quickly into new organizations. This is because you might move many times between very different types of firms and companies, who operate in different practice areas/sectors/market segments, who have different client bases, sizes of teams, cultures, and training approaches. Thus, I believe it will be essential to highlight your adaptability; and explain why for you this type of experience is actually an exciting opportunity more than anything else.</blockquote>
