Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ricimer25" data-source="post: 189188" data-attributes="member: 38117">Hi [USER=36740]@Amma Usman[/USER] ! I am in the process of finalising my application for Clifford Chance's TC. I was hoping you could give me some pointers on whether the following would be an effective way answering the work experience section.A bit of context - the guidance on the application form states that "When explaining the details of your work, we recommend you not only explain the role and responsibilities, but achievements of importance that are unique to you."I also emailed the early talent recruitment team, and they clarified that they recommend "weaving in the skills you gained and why they are relevant to commercial law, and in particular, being a great Trainee at Clifford Chance specifically, throughout your answer."Here is one of the answers I put:[Experience - entry-level consultant at a boutique firm, non-UK based]"My regular tasks included analysing data provided by clients, researching the market and industry the client operated in, and using the above to craft informed recommendations for the client. Finally, I would synthesis all the above into presentations to communicate our findings to the client. As I gained more experience, I took on greater responsibility and worked more independently, eventually leading small work groups. In my major achievements in this role, I demonstrate skills that would make me an effective lawyer at Clifford Chance. I maintained a client focus; in my analysis of a private clinic’s operations, I identified the main obstacle that was preventing the client from achieving their business objectives: a lack of administrative staff meant that doctors had to keep track of patient appointments themselves. Due to their workload, doctors often forgot to send reminders to patients, meaning that the patients would miss appointments. I recommended that each department have a staff member charged with managing patient appointments, as departments with such a staff member had 20% fewer missed appointments. I also demonstrated a commercial mindset by identifying existing strengths within the client’s business that could be utilised more effectively. The private clinic had several experienced doctors who offered their patients bespoke treatment plans. By devising a standard pricing structure, and ensuring that these treatments were advertised to all the clinic’s customers, I helped increase the clinic’s revenue by $150,000 per year. These skills are particularly valuable to Clifford Chance because the firm prides itself on a client-led approach."</blockquote>
