[QUOTE="Lumree, post: 48064, member: 1532"] This is a great question and one I recently had myself! My take is that in an application, there’s no harm in honing in on a specific area or practice that appeals to you. It’s more likely to be convincing and true, especially if backed up by your experiences in that area. My only caveat is that in an interview you may want to expand your point slightly. For example, suggesting you are interested in other practice areas too, for similar reasons, but perhaps not having experience in them. This is to save coming across as overly passionate or committed to a specific practice area when that probably isn’t the case. I’d be interested to hear what the forum team have to say though! [USER=5063]@Jacob Miller[/USER] [USER=1572]@Dheepa[/USER] [USER=4043]@Naomi U[/USER] what do you think? [/QUOTE]
