[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 218204, member: 36777"] Just to add to [USER=42112]@Abbie Whitlock[/USER]'s great answer, what worked well for me in terms of identifying a sector I could justify an interest in back when I was applying was simply thinking about the sector I know most about. Thus, I thought about what I know in terms of: [LIST] [*]How much I know about how different sectors impacts my life personally, the economy, and broader society [*]How much I know about the inner workings of a sector: how it is divided in subparts, how its supply and distribution chain work, who the major players are etc. [*]How much I know about recent events and trends in the sector [*]How much I know (and can find out) about how a lawyer's work in this sector will differ from work in other sectors [/LIST] After considering all of these factors, I would choose the sector I know most about simply because the more you can speak in detail about it, the more persuasive will your reasoning be. As to how it aligns with your ambitions - I would focus on how the sector impacts society/the economy and express your personal interest in contributing to that. [/QUOTE]
