[QUOTE="C, post: 48307, member: 3694"] [USER=1532]@Lumree[/USER] [USER=4043]@Naomi U[/USER] [USER=1572]@Dheepa[/USER] thank you so much for your replies and insight! I agree with everything that's been said. I do always make sure I talk about something a bit more generic like the international opportunities a firm offers or their investment in innovation etc before honing in on which practice area or seat appeals to me. Hopefully this is a good balance. However - if sometimes I don't have particular experience relating to a practice area I'm interested in, should I just not mention why it interests me? Even if I can justify my interest by saying why the prospect of engaging in certain aspects of work in that practice area appeals to me? Just an example to explain what I mean above: "I retain a strong interest in projects work. In addition to receiving opportunities to work on high-value deals involving a range of stakeholders, I am drawn to how the deal-making in this area often produces genuine, tangible improvements in people's lives." + pair that with evidence of the firm being ranked highly for projects work.
