[QUOTE="Amma Usman, post: 202005, member: 36740"] The highest points on the bar of showcasing demonstrated interest is work - practices. Pro bono and training are quite similar among many firms, so these should come last and in tangent to the firm‘s work. Even as you are highlighting these less specific points, ensure to pick out something the firm does that’s different. For example, training - many firms now seem to have small trainee intakes, so what is it about that which appeals to you? Give an example of how you thrived in a similar environment. Maybe it’ll also give you higher responsibility early on. Next, pro bono - any specific type of pro bono the firm works within/types of cases? Why does that appeal? Again, these are all quite similar among many firms so focus on the work first - these should come last as they aren’t as specific. It’s quite ironic how even the work is similar among firms. But with this, each firm will have its USP, some firms will be better than other in certain practices, etc. So, find this and address accordingly in your answers. [/QUOTE]
