[QUOTE="AJ, post: 8837, member: 543"] I agree with [USER=23]@Salma[/USER] haha. I don’t think it matters why you want to leave your current job. At the end of the day, you want to train as a solicitor and work in commercial law at firm xyz. That’s why you’re leaving and no other reason. Definitely compare and contrast your current role to that in commercial law. It should add more substance and sincerity to your answers. But just a point of caution. Be careful in what you say and try to think of follow up questions. If you say you want to get away from menial work, you might be asked about the role of of trainee bundle checking or photocopying (even though most firms have document production services). I had a similar problem in terms of talking about my current role and experience. I sat down with a blank piece of paper and bullet pointed what I did in my current role day to day. No matter how big or small. And then tried to draw out competencies from each. Then linked these to the role of a trainee or NQ. I then made this into proper text to fit 150, 250 and unlimited word counts. [/QUOTE]
