[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 181357, member: 2672"] It’s hard to review only a short section of an application because you don’t know how it fits into everything you are writing. There will need to be more detail on law specifically though. Client service is just one aspect of law, but many other jobs have this same aspect so I would recommend drilling it down more to the topic of law too. If you need word count back, you can write it like the following and get more word count remaining [I]Commercial law appeals to me due to its client-focused approach, a perspective that I developed from the age of 14, when I began working as a receptionist at my dad's hotel. I witnessed firsthand the importance of customer satisfaction and providing exceptional service. This experience taught me that I care about making money and going the extra mile for customers, retaining their loyalty and satisfaction. This aligns with how Gibson Dunn has retained a lot of clients because of their client-focused approach, which made them recognised in the BTI Client Service All-Stars, particularly with Scott A. Edelman, Theane Evangelis, and Bradley J. Hamburger being honoured for two consecutive times in both 2022 and 2023.[/I] I would also change the phrase “making money” as a lawyer you aren’t really making money as such, and just the way it is phrased can sound more superficial/like going into investments would be a better career. Also be mindful that also with this approach you are framing your answer in more of a "this is why I am a suitable candidate" rather than explaining your motivations for the career/the firm. [/QUOTE]
