[QUOTE="Helpme12345, post: 46128, member: 8721"] Hey! I find this part about not taking your professional background for granted really interesting. I'm not a career changer as such, but have been working in the energy sector for a little over a year since graduating and I am focusing on firms with strength in this sector. While I know that having an understanding of and interest in this sector would benefit me as a trainee, I don't want to come across as though I wouldn't be interested in exploring other areas of law. I also know that this experience will only benefit to a certain extent and is not something that other trainees could not also learn, so I don't want to come across like I think I'm an expert and as if my knowledge will be super valuable to these firms in my applications. If anyone has any similar experiences/tips on how to write about past industry experience I would be very grateful! [/QUOTE]
