    @Andrei Radu @Jessica Booker @Amma Usman @Ram Sabaratnam Hi guys, I just wanted some advice on the 'why this firm' element of a question. Do you think it is acceptable to talk just about for example training or do you think it could be quite generic. Would you suggest for the 'why this firm'...

    Before you submit it, the word count will automatically cut off anything after 150 words so you need to make sure you stay within the limit.
