Message: <blockquote data-quote="Trainee590" data-source="post: 215900" data-attributes="member: 41856">Hi there, I think it is a good idea to consider a firm's values and the skills that they look for when you fill in the work experience section. If you can tailor your answers to cover the skills that the firm thinks are important, this will help you to demonstrate your understanding of the firm and suitability for the role. I appreciate that editing your work experience answers to be unique to each application can take more time, but it is a good way to stand out from other applicants. Moreover, at many insight events I've attended, the recruitment team has given this advice - they don't want to see answers that could be copied and pasted into a different firm's application. In my experience, I was successful when I made sure to include some of the skills the firm values. I also included a few phrases like the one you mentioned, linking my experience to the firm, but I don't think this is essential for every work experience you list. Therefore, some of my experiences were tailored to the firm, while the rest could be used for all of my applications. In this way, I saved time when writing my applications while ensuring that the majority of my answers were well researched and relevant to the firm.</blockquote>
