[QUOTE="r14n, post: 12616, member: 1649"] You are in the right direction, that is how I approach the question too. Usually I give a more 'formal' answer and cover the following:- - What attracts me to the firm and the open day; - What I hope to learn/achieve with this activity; - Usually I also mention an area(s) that attracts me of the firm and the fact that I'd like to know more about it through the trainees and associates; - It enables me to openly network with students, trainees, graduate recruitment and also associates/partners; - (if this is for one of the firms you want to apply for VS/TC) I also mention how this open day would give me a brief experience of the firm/working environment/colleagues/daily activities as a trainee. Do not be disheartened if you get the bad news, maybe it is to do with the intake of open days and not your answer what made them take the decision. Eventually, you will get plenty of invitations and you will be at a stage where you have to choose one over the other! Good Luck :) [/QUOTE]
