With cover letters that are expressed to be one page rather than by word count is the general consensus that we don't put our address/their address? It takes up so much space.

If for Slaughter and May, then you don’t have to put the formalities of a cover letter in.
If this is another firm, let me know who it is and I’ll check what their stance is (as it varies from firm to firm).

Have they changes their application format? It hasn't had a cover letter previously (as far as our records show anyway).

Do you upload this an attachment or is it just a section within the online form?
Hi, I am applying to a VS for a firm with the same application questions as the TC I applied for in July. They sent an email saying that they had filled all their spots for the TC and would not be progressing my application as a result of no more TCs being available.
I am under the impression that they did not review my application. Would it be okay to use the same answers I submitted a few months ago or would this be disadvantageous? @Jessica Booker Thank you!

Did anyone who completed the HSF Online assessment yesterday afternoon or evening get confirmation if they passed it?
Hey guys, for the Linklaters assessment, is the critical thinking section after the SJT the Watson Glaser test? i.e., does that also have to be finished by the deadline, or is it the one that can be taken upto 5 days after submitting the application?
Hello guys,
I completed the HSF application 3 days ago. However, I never received an invitation to take their test.
Do the tests come in later or is something off?
thanks

I agree with @Jessica Booker that these are skills more than qualities and that you need to look more at general personality traits. I think you can keep the points you were going to make about these skills and just change the wording to replace them with the relevant associated qualities. For instance:
- Instead of 'problem-solving' you can discuss being an 'analytic' person.
- Instead of 'teamwork', you can discuss being 'collaborative' or 'empathetic'
- Instead of 'attention to detail', you can discuss being 'meticulous' or 'conscientious'
