For the second question, yes - you should ensure the answer is tailored specifically to that programme/opportunity.Hi @Jessica Booker, I hope you are enjoying your Sunday.
I am answering 'Why am I interested in pursuing a legal career in the city?'. Should I mention the kind of work and the international appeal? can I also state that I have established my life here in London?
Additionally, there is another question asking why I would like to participate in B.U.I.L.D @ Shearman. What should I consider when answering why a specific scheme?
Thank you in advance.
For the first question, it really depends on what is important to you. For some people it’s not really the international aspect that appeals. I don’t think you really have to go into detail as to why you want to live in London, especially if you have ties to the city already. I would ensure your answer takes about what the long-term career in London will provide to you that maybe other opportunities outside of the city would not.
