That’s what I would usually do but there’s no questions on the application form so I wasn’t sure!
@mulan0 . That’s very interesting. In this case where there is no cover letter or applications questions, I suggest tailoring it to the firm in the work experience section then. Perhaps it’s worth looking at WBD’s values on their website, or speaking to future/current lawyers on what they look for by dropping private messages on LinkedIn. You could also link it to general trainee competencies like proactivity, attention to detail, resilience, and so on. Since there is no variation of a cover letter, I’ll also stress the importance of adequately covering your work experiences to showcase the key skills and qualities you possessed from each placement. Further, prose will be best in this instance.
I have tagged the rest of the team in case they have more views on how best to approach this: @Jessica Booker , @Andrei Radu , @Ram Sabaratnam.
