[QUOTE="Ibtisam Arif, post: 1252, member: 119"] Hi Jaysen, I was just reading Lewis's 6 vacation scheme article, and he stated that he had a tactic of explaining what interested him in a firm. He mentioned that for some firms there were specific departments that stood out to him. My question is let us use the above example Addleshaw Goodard's corporate department that stood out to jay, perhaps due to the clients it holds or the deals it does etc. How can a candidate link this with the question - HOW WILL THIS DEPARTMENT HELP HIM? I understand that due to clients or deals it does it stands out to an applicant - but how does this help the trainee solicitor? why does this make him want to be a part of it? It is unlikely that a trainee will suddenly be involved in those high profile deals so an applicant saying their strong department which attracts clients means the opportunities to be involved in such deals sounds very superficial. Disclaimer - The above response is very waffly but I hope you kind of get the gist of what I am trying to say. [/QUOTE]
