[QUOTE="AvniD, post: 128822, member: 17155"] Hi Gabby! Welcome to TCLA 😊 You don't need to have knowledge about the entire breadth of industries that law firms serve to be commercially aware. The focus needs to be on understanding the core commercial and legal issues in a news story [I]and[/I] identifying the role that lawyers play in addressing them. I've broken this down in a bit more detail [URL='https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/how-to-improve-my-commercial-awareness-and-an-additional-commercial-law-question.6753/post-127581']here[/URL]. As for linking the firm back to yourself, in the geography degree example, you have identified what may be sparking your interest but you haven't actually drawn out the link. How has your degree helped you gain knowledge of the energy sector? And further, how has this knowledge translated into your wanting to become a commercial lawyer? I'm guessing that taking a pen and paper and sitting down to reflect on your motivations for wanting a career in law for a short while will help in making these links stronger. I'd also advise watching webinars or attending open days to better understand how law firms differ from each other and how you can tailor your apps to each firm. [/QUOTE]
