[QUOTE="Alice G, post: 30223, member: 1160"] Yeah honestly this isn't the approach to take. I have sat in the audience of panel discussions where partners have had to ask a candidate to explain what they mean/give context and background as they have tried so hard to 'impress' and use technical jargon that the lawyers did not grasp what was being said or asked. Go in with genuine and authentic questions. Don't ask what the firm specialises in maybe as this is easy to Google and seek for yourself, but try to ask all the things you care about which are not so easy. For instance, what is the firm doing to advance mental health awareness? How does mentoring at the firm manifest? What has been the most challenging and rewarding aspect of your career to date? Just take the opportunity to seek the answers which you cannot glean online and try to maybe frame questions which will help you collate evidence for your app to that firm too [/QUOTE]
