[QUOTE="Hazal, post: 8835, member: 694"] Hello! I've been putting some thought into how I'm going to use my current job as a point of reference for where I've developed certain skills and competencies, in interviews. I've also been thinking about using it as an example of what I'm seeking to leave behind, e.g. : [LIST] [*]menial work where I don't get pushed much. Also, less responsibility than I want in a job [*]a non-competitive market where the business doesn't necessarily try very hard to improve their service to clients [/LIST] But, I don't want to come across as negative/slating the company in case they think that's what I'm going to be like at their firm OR as downplaying the skills I [I]am [/I]picking up on the job (e.g. I don't want to play down any responsibility I [I]do [/I]have by saying what I don't have). Does anyone have experience with talking about full-time office work in legal interviews? Or, can give an outside perspective on the above? [/QUOTE]
