[QUOTE="stiggy, post: 184216, member: 37255"] Hiya, i'll be starting my training contract in Spring 2025 at a firm which guarantees secondments to all trainees however, international secondments seem to be more competitive than client ones. What advice do you have for strengthening an application for international secondments/ do you have any insights on how firms decide who goes where? How can I demonstrate a strong interest in a secondment-relevant practice beyond just performing well at my trainee tasks (as I assume everyone will be doing this) For some context: I'm particularly interested in US markets (NYC/ silicon Valley) or emerging markets (Hong Kong/ Singapore/ China/ Vietnam) but would also be open to some European secondments. My practice interests are quite varied (part of why i chose a firm with 3 month seat rotations) but I think ill want to qualify in something more transactional/ corportate. I am a native french and english speaker with intermediate - advanced spanish skills. Thank you! [/QUOTE]
