[QUOTE="BWSM201, post: 9369, member: 1391"] Hey! Hope this helps across the board but for Slaughter and May in particular, a contact I have there said this about the cover letter. 'For the cover letter, it’s a case of cherry-picking one or two key points in your CV and expanding on them, rather than trying to do everything. My advice would be: limit to one paragraph on why Slaughter and May appeals to you; one paragraph on recent work experience and one paragraph about yourself (i.e. you play football and rugby – why do you enjoy them? What positions do you play in? How long have you played them for? Why are they important to you? etc). The rest can speak for itself from the CV.' PS: also said it should never be longer than one side of A4! Good luck with your application(s)! [/QUOTE]
