[QUOTE="Mimi, post: 6108, member: 902"] Hey William, For Q1 I would suggest maybe an interest/hobby you have, consider the transferrable skills and maybe how it has helped in other aspects of your life or helped you grow. I would make this answer more personal than an answer for the typical positions of responsibility/interests/extra-curricular activities question - sorry if this is still vague. Regarding Q2, I think I had to answer a similar question so I discussed an M&A transaction in the fashion industry as that's one of my interests. I highlighted: - why it was of interest - i.e. the companies & their market reputation (in this case it was Michael Kors & Versace); - the different jurisdictions involved; and - the different practice areas involved e.g. corporate, finance, tax, employment etc. I used this to argue why I would have represented the sell side because of the negotiations involved, the impact it has had on the companies and the impact on the wider luxury fashion industry. I think arguing which side you'd prefer to represent is going to be dependent on what interests you about commercial law/ an M&A transaction e.g. is it a share/asset sale - if so which assets, which practice areas are involved and what is their role in negotiations? Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
