[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 224320, member: 36777"] Yes, I would advise you to try to connect the points you mention to some examples from your experiences; consider allocating your time like this: [LIST=1] [*][B]30ish seconds explaining the feature of commercial law you would enjoy most and why you think that will be the case [/B](here I would discuss something such as the opportunity to learn a lot about businesses while working to solve their complex legal problems, but this is a very personal point, where I think you should think about what aspect of the job you actually think you will like the most). [*][B][B]20-30ish seconds quickly explaining the headline points about an experience which illustrates this, such as a time you enjoyed learning about businesses. [/B][/B] [*][B]20-30ish seconds explaining a feature you think would not enjoy much, which should not pick up any crucial aspect of the job [/B](i.e. time-pressured tasks and demanding clients) but rather more temporary and less important aspects (such as more admin focused work at the junior level) [*][B]10-20ish seconds explain that, nonetheless, you recognise the importance and value of this aspect of the role [/B](i.e. explain that admin work is crucial for successful representation of clients and also forms useful skills for you) [*][B][B]A 10-20ish seconds brief mention of a time you dealt well with this kind of less pleasant aspect in another situation[/B][/B] [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
