[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 244149, member: 42112"] Hey! The approach that I would take for this question is: [LIST] [*]Pick a few experiences from your academic / work / extracurricular background which genuinely motivated you to pursue a career in commercial law. Try to avoid picking too many, as depth is likely more important than breadth. [*]Reflect on these experiences, rather than just describing them. Discuss what insights you gained and the aspects that you enjoyed in particular. [*]Draw them together to show how, collectively, they shaped your interest in commercial law as a career path. [*]Finish by explaining how the open day will build on both experiences and how this specific event will help your overall development (e.g. offering further insights into a practice area, or learning more about a specific firm). [/LIST] A focused and reflective answer will appear much stronger than one that tries to discuss as many experiences as possible - I'd try to be very deliberate with the experiences you choose, and focus on the reflection element! I hope that assists :) [/QUOTE]
