[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 11955, member: 1"] Depth is better, 2-3 skills is fine - as you said, you can then develop where you have developed those skills. Yes - the strongest applications I see tailor their transferable skills to the role of a trainee solicitor and we always recommend it in our reviews. Brief references are fine, just try to be as specific as you can. Personally, I'd suggest reviewing what your strengths are and using that to answer this question; ideally there will be some crossover there with the skills Latham suggests it is looking for. Teamworking is fine, you may want to consider being more specific e.g., leading with your interpersonal skills and tying in with how that can help you in a team. Being specific can help you avoid being cliche/too vague with your answers. [/QUOTE]
