[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 33908, member: 2672"] Two specialisms is fine - you are likely to spend at least half (if not more) in these areas or in departments that link to them. Your earlier post made no reference to property though and that is why I thought it was a bit too focused. It is fine to talk about reputation/who you will work with, but you need to explain why that is important to you/what it will provide you with. The firm knows it has a good reputation and that you would work with X people, so you are only telling them something they already know if you only go to that level. You have to get a balance to everything in your answer - it needs to sound like you are interested in the whole training contract (and the things around it) and not just one six month seat in DR.
