[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 224268, member: 42112"] Hello! You should focus mainly on yourself in that question. Fieldfisher is asking for a summary of what you've achieved so far and what makes you stand out - things such as academic achievements, scholarships, work experience, open days, insight schemes, volunteering, leadership roles, and extra-curriculars. You don't need to talk about the firm directly (and I would definitely avoid turning it into a "why Fieldfisher" answer, as that does not directly answer the question), but you can subtly and briefly link your experiences to the skills and qualities that the firm looks for. That way, you're still showing why you're background is relevant without turning the answer into a cover letter. This question is an opportunity for Fieldfisher to get to know you through the type of initiatives and activities that you have voluntarily participated in - therefore, I would make it about you, but perhaps write it in a way that subtly shows how your experiences make you a good fit for Fieldfisher. I hope that helps! :) [/QUOTE]
