[QUOTE="Afraz Akhtar, post: 235127, member: 43563"] Hey [USER=37704]@chiichii[/USER] For me, this question goes into learning more about you. I think it serves as a chance to really set yourself apart and a become a little more memorable in a process that seems to be drowning in candidates with legal interest. For example, at a previous recruiter event, I heard how a member of the graduate recruitment team at CC was left impressed with a candidates passion for Bharatnatyam dancing, so it doesn’t need to be legal at all. I’d do just that. Not the dancing, but thinking deep about who you are and what keeps you going outside the world of law and academics. Once you’ve found it, consider how this has shaped you as a person. Has it led to some soft skill development, like teamwork or attention to detail (as you would imagine for that candidate who talked about their dancing) or has it helped you fulfil a greater purpose? The impact is really personal, and it doesn’t need to be directly linked to law, at the very least, it should be something that would benefit you as you venture into the world of law. [/QUOTE]
