[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 228057, member: 36777"] I do not think they have a strong expectation to the effect that every candidate should utilise the entire word count of that section to discuss new experiences or insights - if your written answers in the other sections are really strong, I cannot imagine the firm would reject you simply because you have not found something to add here. Moreover, I certainly do not believe that recruiters would appreciate people writing about minor experiences or describing overlapping and repetitive points just for the sake of filling up this section. That said, if there are any motivations for your interest in the firm or commercial law that you genuinely did not have enough space to present in the other sections, or any relevant skills/experiences, I would definitely advise you to include them. This section is meant to provide you with an additional opportunity to add value to your application and impress the graduate recruiters, so you should not hold back from mentioning anything that would have this effect.
