[QUOTE="axelbeugre, post: 171659, member: 30937"] I personally with focus on who, in the initial 3 months, will be the best people at the firm to help me figure out how to best navigate the firm, its culture, the workload and the opportunities presented to me as a trainee. In this respect, I would potentially write about meeting a Partner in the practice area I was mostly interested in/or working in, an associate that has a few years of experience at the firm to understand how to best navigate the firm, and someone building D&EI initiatives, as a person of colour, to understand how to best navigate the culture of the firm. This is of course a personal approach that I would take and it can differ. For the second part of the question, I would focus on meeting them for coffee one a month and updating them as to what I was doing at the firm, who I was inspired by and the work I have been mostly interested in since joining the firm. These are the two strategies I would write about. I would say that the most important thing here is to make sure that you are structured in your answer and that you answer each part of the question, so choose 2/3 people to speak to at the firm and why, and 2/3 strategies you would use to maintain the relationships.
