[QUOTE="James Carrabino, post: 115161, member: 16764"] Hi [USER=3352]@nisadee[/USER] I quite like the sound of this approach! I would be cautious about the way you phrase it so that it does not sound like you are [I]trying too hard[/I] to find a way of linking your interest in the firms - feel free to be quite open about their differences. But yes, I think that saying you want to explore the full range of the market in corporate law is not a bad approach. Then explain why you are leaning towards the segment of the market that the firm you are interviewing at occupies and how you think the skills you learn on the other firms' vac schemes will give you insight and skills that you can bring with you to this firm. Commitment is a great thing to discuss, but perhaps you should explain why you personally interacted with these firms beforehand. Otherwise, it could sound a bit arbitrary that you interacted with some firms and thus feel a sense of commitment to them going forwards. If you have a reason for why you initially interacted with them, it would then make sense to explain that you really liked the vibe you got from each firm for completely different reasons and that despite their differences, you feel that you would enjoy working at any of them. Do make sure though to hammer home exactly why your top choice is definitely the firm you are currently working at :) [/QUOTE]
