Secondly, I would go on to explain why I would be interested in working in the sector/department at BCLP in particular: here, I would analyse the firm's team and expertise in the area in depth, looking at rankings, awards, notable deals/cases and comparisons with rivals.Paragraph 2, 3 , 4: I would simply repeat the above, but for a new sector/department;Advice on how to use all the word count without unnecessarily lengthening your points:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Since the firm mentions both sectors and "departments", you can likely discuss practices areas of the firm as well, which increases the breadth of what you can discuss. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You should describe your experiences in a lot of depth, using a STAR structure.   </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You can analyse the firm's expertise in as much depth as you want, going though important matters they worked on and their impact, mentioning top practitioners, recent hires and strategy, etc. </li> </ul></blockquote>

Verification: Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
