[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 218178, member: 42112"] Hey! No problem at all! I totally get where you’re coming from, and it can definitely feel tricky when you’re drawn to practice areas rather than client sectors. One way to approach it might be to look for overlaps: for example, have a think about what practice areas these sectors may be involved in. If you’re interested in areas such as IP, employment, or litigation, you could explore how those come into play in sectors such as tech, life sciences, and media. Even if you don’t have a set sector in mind, you can still frame your answer around how the article gave you insight into a real-world issue that intersects with your own genuine interests, and reflect on how that aligns with the kind of work you can see yourself doing at the firm. It’s more about showing genuine curiosity and being able to make that connection, rather than having everything perfectly planned out - best of luck with your application :) [/QUOTE]
