[QUOTE="Eamon, post: 11941, member: 2418"] I'm doing the Latham & Watkins application, and am a bit unsure as to the best approach to answer the question. First, is it better to have breadth or depth? I'm unsure whether to talk about 2 or 3 skills, and then demonstrate where I have developed these skills. I'm leaning towards depth as there is the extra-curricular section in which I can demonstrate further skills. Secondly, do you think its necessary to use a sentence or two to explain how a Trainee may use these skills, or would this be wasted words? Finally (and most importantly), to best determine the skills I have looked at the website/ brochure etc. to see the skills that keep popping up. I have noticed that being able to take responsibility pops up alot, as does teamwork/collaboration. However, I feel as if teamwork is bit cliche, and was wondering whether commercial awareness may be more appropriate, especially given the global nature of L&W. What are peoples thoughts? [/QUOTE]
