Message: <blockquote data-quote="adh3" data-source="post: 228593" data-attributes="member: 42602">I don't disagree with either of you!That's what I meant by the application answers acting as "filters". Writing something completely generic (without ties to the firm's strengths, or your personal motivation/experience) will increase the chance of being rejected. So, I agree that it's worthwhile to tailor your application answers as much as you possibly can if you want to have a good shot at progressing.I'm certainly not advising people to spam low-quality applications because they have an impressive background. All I was saying, is that when there are hundreds (if not thousands) of exceptional applicants with tailored applications – all of whom are using the same resources to tailor their applications – the ones who tend to stand out are those with better experience (and underlying academics) which help them to craft a more compelling case.Having said that, I also believe recruitment is (frequently) a luck-based process. As both of you have said, sometimes graduate recruitment see something unique in your application answers which makes you stand out. Therefore, to maximise your "luck" I agree that you should definitely tailor your application answers.</blockquote>
