[QUOTE="Sonia2004, post: 228573, member: 36235"] Hi! The easiest way to answer that question is usually by focusing on what skill is relevant for a trainee. For example, why would organisation be important? Where would that come to use? Think about the typical tasks such as: - Researching (E.g what would you be expected to research? Legislations, recent developments, Investment schemes for the client etc) - Writing emails or meeting notes (requires good written communication, being concise and clear. So, here, you might benefit from showing your academic credentials to show you have these skills). - Due diligence (think of what skills would be relevant for this e.g organisation, being able to prioritise). - Proof-reading (and thus identify where you have shown good attention to detail). If you are not confident in what the typical trainee tasks are, I would suggest to go on Forage and go through some of their tasks, specifically on PE focused firms, so you can get a good idea :) Best of luck!
