Message: <blockquote data-quote="Abstruser" data-source="post: 8225" data-attributes="member: 260">I too did a lot of regional work, both in England and in my home country, and was applying to really large international firms. I have gotten similar questions, and the way I approach it is to focus on my career aspirations, and how I think an international firm will better service those aspirations. For example, I often talk about how I want to 'future-proof' my career, and how I think that multi-jurisdictional dexterity will be an essential skill for lawyers in the next decade or so. That leads on to a 'nicer' discussion of why I am attracted to an international firm for the opportunities it can provide me, instead of casting my regional experience in a negative light.Also, as I have brought up in previous interviews, when I worked at smaller, regional firms, I actually got more responsibility than I did in some larger firms I worked in. I had more client contact, more independent projects - although the work itself wasn't glamorous, the learning curve was steep all the same. That narrative has worked very well for me in past interviews. It's all about finding a different perspective!</blockquote>
