[QUOTE="Jacob Miller, post: 48308, member: 5063"] I think that would be a reasonable approach, personally I did this for areas where I hadn't gained great exposure to them personally. The one thing I would absolutely reinforce though is to be 1000% sure the firm [B]actually offers a service in that area[/B]. I have heard of people before who have spoken for minutes on end about how they love the idea of certain litigation work, only to then be informed that the firm does almost exclusively PE stuff. Not a good look. I would advise some caution here though- firms don't necessarily want to take someone on who seems only to have their mind set on one particular thing. I would always balance this with showing a good degree of open-mindedness in your response too. [/QUOTE]
