[QUOTE="George Maxwell, post: 90123, member: 17165"] Hi [USER=4098]@futuretraineesolicitor[/USER] and [USER=16583]@atrumregina1[/USER]! Completely agree with [USER=16764]@James Carrabino[/USER], you both sound like you have a really interesting range of interests. So your question about bringing F1 🏎️ into interviews is difficult to answer in the abstract as ultimately it will depend on the question the firm poses. However, thinking back to when I was applying, I was often asked about whether there was a particular industry that I would like to work with or about my interests (which were not connected to law/university). This particular example also strikes me as a very good way of reasoning why the firm intrigues you too. More specifically: [USER=4098]@futuretraineesolicitor[/USER] - [B]yes[/B]! I would use this. If it is a subject that you are genuinely enthused by, then it will come across very well in interview. Just link it back to what the substantive work might be and [I]why[/I] that interests you particularly. [USER=16583]@atrumregina1[/USER], when you mention you have no idea how you would answer this, what are you referring to? Are you talking just about how you would incorporate this interest into an application? It strikes me, as I mentioned before, that this is a really natural way of justifying "Why NRF?". Also, if you are lucky, it might be a neat way of connecting with your interviewer (if they are also an F1 fan(!)- it is always worth asking the question) 🧐. [/QUOTE]
