[QUOTE="pfoapplicant, post: 222635, member: 8993"] Hi guys, I have a couple of quick further queries about the Taylor Wessing application form - if anyone has any ideas, I'd be hugely grateful! :) 1. For the questions towards the bottom of the form (asking candidates about a time they showed a particular quality, or about an candidate's achievement), there's a character limit of 2500 characters (which probably equates to somewhere above 400 words). The problem is that I'm not sure I can necessarily provide an answer of more than 400 words without going into superfluous amounts of detail (in other words, it might look as though I'm waffling!). Often on similar questions on other firms' applications, there's a word limit of about 250-300 words; [B]do you reckon an answer in the region of about 250-300 words might be enough on the Taylor Wessing form (at least, if necessary), or would it be advisable to aim higher?[/B] 2. The final part of the form asks candidates whether they've used AI whilst writing the application, and then asks them (again, with a limit of 2500 characters) to "provide details on your decision and elaborate on the reasons behind your choice". In all honesty, I've got no plans to use AI for this application (as, frankly, I feel that, when putting together an application, I work better under my own steam), and so I expect my answer to the question will be brief (probably in the region of about 50 words at most) - [B]does this sound okay, or do you reckon that candidates are expected to go into more detail (or, indeed, that candidates are expected to use AI as, for instance, it shows that they're comfortable to doing so in the workplace)?[/B] [/QUOTE]
