[QUOTE="ZNadeem, post: 217397, member: 40237"] Hi! Rather than tying your answer directly to Hogan Lovells at every step, it’s better to link your examples back to the trainee role itself. You can do this by focusing on the key competencies HL highlight on their website (e.g. collaboration, resilience, problem-solving, communication) and then, where it adds value, show how those same skills connect with aspects of the firm (like global teamwork, sector strengths, or culture). Structure suggestion: [LIST] [*]Pick 2 skills that you can evidence strongly (e.g. teamwork + resilience, or leadership + communication). [*]One paragraph per skill, using STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to give a concrete example outside of work/study. [*]Close each paragraph with 1–2 sentences linking that skill to being a successful trainee at HL (e.g. collaboration → ability to work across their cross-border teams). [/LIST] This way, your answer stays experience-driven and reflective but also shows you’ve thought about how those skills translate to life as a trainee at Hogan Lovells. [/QUOTE]
