Message: <blockquote data-quote="Abbie Whitlock" data-source="post: 231008" data-attributes="member: 42112">Hey!For this sort of question in a video interview, I'd say that sometimes having a clear and structured answer matters more than extensive detail. My approach to it would be:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Directly answer the question first, clearly stating the practice areas you are interested in </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Explain why those areas interest you, and focus on what attracts you to the work (such as the type of clients, the skills involved, or the overall nature of the matters)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Support this with brief evidence from your past experiences, linking them to a past example where you have gained an insight into the area or something that developed your interest</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Show how this fits with the firm, referencing why those areas appeal to you at that firm specifically (i.e. if this is for the Corporate team, the firm might have a unique client sector that specifically interests you)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Finish with your overall motivations and what you are keen to learn or develop as a trainee in that practice area at the firm.</li> </ul>As it is a video interview, I'd try to focus on keeping your points concise and natural - otherwise, you might find that you run out of time!I hope that assists <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
