[QUOTE="Amma Usman, post: 216101, member: 36740"] I have been getting many questions about this lately. Here are my thoughts on this: As much as your previous application was successful, I do recommend still switching up some things a bit. Largely, this is because your skills and experiences would have developed so much in one year, whether it's evident or not to you. That said, not everything will need dramatic changing, and you can do this subtly. For example, I suspect that your why X firm answer would have not changed too much. However, if, for example, the firm has been involved in any latest deals that align with your interests, and you can substantiate this with why that appeals to you, then it's worth mentioning. You could also mention a new experience. Again, it doesn't' need to be a big internship - it could even be a short online course you took on X, a coffee chat you had with a member of the firm, or even an online webinar on AI in the legal sphere! There is much flexibility here. Overall, the change doesn't need to be too legendary or dramatic - firm's just want to see that your skills and ideologies are consistently evolving. Your application should reflect that trait. [/QUOTE]
