[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 36378, member: 1"] Agreed - I think many candidates decide they want to pursue a career in commercial law [I]first[/I], and then realise they don't have a convincing explanation for why. They then try to find 'impressive' reasons for wanting to become a commercial lawyer, or adapt someone else's answer and try to apply it to themselves. It's really obvious when you read an application and someone has thought deeply about why they want to become a commercial lawyer. It's unique, based on the candidate's journey and feels authentic. Even if you already think you have a good answer, I think it's a worthwhile exercise for everyone to take some time out to think deeply about why this is the career you want. As Jess said, keep asking yourself 'so what?' until you push past the surface-level answers. [/QUOTE]
