[QUOTE="Matt_96, post: 13931, member: 1260"] Thanks for the suggestion Jessica, I have been racking my brain about this for a few days since your reply. I think that the reason why I am struggling with this question so much is that I am not really sure if the answer I would like to give would be taken seriously by a recruiter. The law course I am doing can be very intense and leaves very little time for anything else. Because of this, I am currently living in a bit of a law-only bubble. It is a bit sad, but other than general banter, I often find that I only end up talking with my friends about law! What I would really like to talk about is the cuts to legal aid in 2012 and how they have pretty much shaped the legal volunteering experience that currently occupies a sizeable chunk of my time. To put it another way, if the cuts had not happened, I would neither need nor be able to do the volunteering I am currently doing, which is why I have some strong opinions on it. Maybe I am overthinking things, but I worry that giving a legal answer is going to make recruiters think my answer is very contrived, and designed to 'impress' rather than be genuine. On the other hand, I am at a loss as to what else I could talk about... What do you think? [/QUOTE]
