[QUOTE="lawstudent18, post: 178686, member: 34530"] Hi Jessica, Thank you for your insight. I wanted to follow up with a couple of questions: - I was thinking of posing my response in the following way: "At the time I did not know what kind of law firm I wanted to work at (ex. what training style, American vs UK, etc.) and I found myself in a situation where I realised I did not like the aforementioned setup of the training programme etc and I think this was obvious. I have since spent the last year exploring my interests in the commercial law field, learning about firms and training styles and what I want from a firm, and I am confident that the firm I am at is a better option for me." Is this a suitable response that has shown that I have grown and am prepared for a TC? - If I need to discuss more on the skills side, one thing I think I have developed a lot is being able to manage my time and know my limits. At my previous vac scheme, I took on way too much work, was barely sleeping and working almost all hours of the day to catch up, I was very overwhelmed and it showed. However, I think this is quite negative. Even if I can show I have developed a sense of my limits etc. would this be a good example? Thank you! [/QUOTE]
