Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hazal" data-source="post: 6850" data-attributes="member: 694">I want to echo the above but see why you're being tactical about this. However, when it comes to interview, be prepared to have more reasons for why you chose a firm. They want to feel like you've really made an effort to get to know them, beyond whether they're accepting of career changers or not.Saying that the firm that gave me the biggest hint as to liking people with backgrounds as different as yours was Reed Smith. Not only do they have great standing in media/entertainment law (one client is SoundCloud), they once said at an open day that they offered a guy a vacation scheme because he related his passion for music so well, they wanted someone with that passion. He apparently turned out to be really dull in every other way (the recruiters were being super candid at this point), but that passion stood out and I can't think of many other firms who would see that and appreciate it.I think it helps that RS is a strengths-based recruiter so they don't look to see if you've demonstrated team work in a legal setting, for example, they want to see what kind of person you are and whether that aligns with their values.</blockquote>
