[QUOTE="Amma Usman, post: 195009, member: 36740"] Hey [USER=35320]@tosin4774[/USER], In my experience, I’ve found that asking myself these two questions helped. (1) Have you answered the question? This may sound a bit obvious and funny, but the truth is, it’s quite easy to stray from the focus of the question itself. If the question is asking for your hobbies, for example, you should not be talking about your work experience which would have been otherwise covered in another area, such as the cover letter. (2) Have you sufficiently related it to the firm? For the why X firm question, you should be unequivocally sure that if you were to copy and paste it onto another firm’s application, it would not make sense. You want the recruiter to know that you have poured in effort into actually researching their work and culture - as every firm will be different upon concentrated research. Despite overlaps in work and all, a strong application would need to be sufficiently tailored to the firm you are applying to. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
