[QUOTE="legallady123, post: 213865, member: 11846"] I was placed in construction litigation for a vac scheme I did (and later received a TC offer for). I had no prior experience or knowledge of construction and feel like it didn’t impact things for me at all. I was just honest about having no prior experience of construction at my exit interview, but made it clear that I really enjoyed it. I also think that it’s really common to begin your TC thinking you’ll qualify in a certain practice area, and for that to then change quite quickly once you experience new sectors. Your initial motivations can still be true because as a trainee you would still probably be able to experience working in the practice area, but you could also just make it clear that you liked your VS experience too :) [/QUOTE]
