[QUOTE="Salma, post: 6838, member: 23"] Hey Ahmed, RE the African development point, I would not take it out completely as it is a valid point to make, as long as you provide a clear reason as to why your interest in Africa's development has motivated you to apply to W&C. For example, in my application to W&C, I spoke about my interest in the projects and finance sector, particularly in Africa as I completed 1) law and society in Africa module at university, 2) a vacation scheme with a mid-sized firm where I assisted on research tasks for clients based in Africa and finally 3) my discussion with trainees at W&C open day about South Africa'a Renewable Energy Independent PPPP and the range of work this programme has generated for the firm. As mentioned above, you just need clear reasons as to why you're interested in the firm's work in Africa, so your answer sounds more like you're applying for a training contract, rather than a consultancy position within the public policy/international development sector. I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
