[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 242295, member: 42112"] Hey! I can totally see the confusion - they are very similar questions! I would try to separate them by changing the overall angle of your answer. [B]Q1: Why Kingsley Napley[/B] This question is more focused on your motivation for the firm itself. I would focus on: [LIST] [*]What attracts you to KN specifically (e.g. culture, practice mix, reputation, client base, etc.) [*]How that aligns with your own interests and values [*]Using concrete examples to back this up (e.g. a practice area, case, initiative, or the firm's approach, and why that attracts you based on your past experiences). [/LIST] [B]Q2: Why this programme[/B] This should be more focused on what you'll gain and how it fits into your future. I would focus on: [LIST] [*]What the work experience programme offers (e.g. exposure, skills, insights, etc.) [*]How those experiences will help you develop, both personally and professionally [*]How it moves you closer to your long-term goals (e.g. training contract, a certain type of practice, building commercial awareness, etc.) [/LIST] When comparing them directly, I'd think of it as: [LIST] [*]Q1 is firm-focused and relates to your current situation. [*]Q2 is development-focused and relates to your future goals. [/LIST] I hope that helps to distinguish them slightly - there is definitely some overlap, so you are not alone in finding these tricky! Best of luck with the application :) [/QUOTE]
