I agree with @Jessica Booker, many times when applicants attempt not to mention the name of a firm they worked at the writing just looks slightly odd. I think many people tend to wrongly assume that showing interactions/experience with other firms is undesirable because it looks like you are not committed enough to the firm. However, recruiters at firms are well-aware of how competitive the application process is and they expect you to apply to other places as well. I have actually been told by some partners that they rejected candidates for telling them in interviews they didn't apply for any other firms, because this shows a lack of a serious commitment for a career in commercial law.@Andrei Radu @Jessica Booker
Hello! I am writing my answer to a 'why do you want to train at this firm' question. One of the things I discuss is the firm's strength in banking and finance, and to show why this is important to me, I want to discuss my experience sitting in this practice area during a VS I completed last year. Do you recommend that I write which law firm it was or not? Thank you!
