[QUOTE="Dheepa, post: 70494, member: 1572"] I don't think you'd need to have a definitive career objective and I'd probably advise against taking a hard angle like wanting to be partner. Instead focus on discussing what areas you'd like to get more experience in and what additional opportunities the firm offers that you want to work towards. Personally, I would split my answer into two parts. The first part I'd use to focus on discussing any practice areas I have an interest in (in fact since the question says "areas of interest" I think it explicitly asks you to talk about this), and any client/international secondments the firm offers that I'd like to do while linking those things to why I think they'd be important for my professional development. I also think questions like this are an excellent opportunity to discuss any diversity networks or interesting social networks the firm has, why those are important to you, and how they would contribute to your skill set (so bringing in the softer objectives you mention) and making you a better lawyer. Hopefully the responses I've quoted below will give you some more ideas as well! [/QUOTE]
