Message: <blockquote data-quote="Andrei Radu" data-source="post: 224450" data-attributes="member: 36777">Hi [USER=38512]@BobThebIlly[/USER] I do not think the firm has any strict view as to how the response to this question should be structured. As such, I think your overriding principle when determining your approach should be to have an answer that is clear, well-put together, and easy to read and navigate, while also developing your analysis of the substantive points in the most convincing and nuanced manner possible. For me personally, this often led to splitting answers roughly 50/50 if I had two main elements to address, as I generally found combining them would make the connection between the different elements be somewhat hard to see on a quick read. Thus, if I were writing an answer to this question right now, this is the default approach I would consider going for. That said, I have seen answers that combine the two work really well, particularly if there was a large overlap in terms of claimed interests/claimed skills and the experiences used to showcase these interests and skills. If you can ensure you can avoid sounding repetitive and that it will be clear when you are addressing which part of the question, I think you could try this out. For instance, your structure could look like this:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Paragraph 1 (250-300 words): Explain a relevant experience using a STAR structure in 100ish words, explain how this makes you interested in the firm's work in another 100ish words, and then explain how it demonstrates you are a good fit in terms of skillset is another 50-100. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Repeat this for Paragraph 2 and 3, but with different experiences, firm interests, and claimed skills. </li> </ol></blockquote>

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