@Jessica Booker Hi Jessica - I am applying for a training contract at a law firm where it asks if I have applied for any other positions at the firm previously. I have mentioned that I applied for a legal assistant position at the firm a few years ago in order to gain legal experience in a different legal practice area. However, I decided to focus on applying for training contracts to fulfil my goal of qualifying as a lawyer. Will this be an acceptable answer? Thank you.
