Message: <blockquote data-quote="pfoapplicant" data-source="post: 236962" data-attributes="member: 8993">Hi guys!On the Charles Russell Speechlys application form, there's a "Why this firm" question, which is worded as follows:"Please outline the reasons you have chosen to apply to Charles Russell Speechlys.We're interested to understand: your research on the firm, how our work/clients has captured your interest, what excites you about working for an international firm, and the reason for choosing your preferred office location."Ordinarily, I'd use part of my answer to this question to talk about why private client work interests me (because I can then tie this in with Charles Russell Speechlys' private client expertise). However, I'm thinking that this kind of reasoning is already covered by another question on the application form (relevant text highlighted in bold):"Please use the space below to describe the reasons you want to be a solicitor.Outline what first prompted your interest in the profession, your research on the profession and how this informed your decision, and particular areas of law that interest you."Would a good, joined-up approach to these questions to be, for example, to use the latter to talk about, for example, why private client work interests me, and then talk in the former about Charles Russell Speechlys' emphasis on private client work (whilst alluding to the fact that I have mentioned elsewhere that I'm interested in private client work)?If anyone has any ideas (no matter how small), I'd be really grateful! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
