Message: <blockquote data-quote="Andrei Radu" data-source="post: 207163" data-attributes="member: 36777">Mayer Brown's application process is known to be quite idiosyncratic and I do not think they have much of an expectation for you to make many links to your 'why the firm' reasons at this stage. That said, I think if you have any good opportunities to do so (ie. where there is a clear alignment between a skill/experience and a differentiating feature of the firm) you should take them, as it can't do anything but elevate your application. However, I definitely think you should not seek to tailor each work experience to the firm. The connections and resulting reasoning would likely look weak as a result, and you do not want to seem like you are pulling at straws. Moreover, it is generally thought that writing in the work experience section should be quite descriptive and to the point; if you consider Mayer Brown's tight word limit as well it's difficult to imagine they might have a different expectation. As such, I would say the same applies for inferences about skills: you can draw them, but do so sparsely and only where the link is very clear - you do not want to have a repetitive writing style.</blockquote>

Verification: Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
