Some of the applicants used to work or to be interns in foreign law firms. Some interviewees even have multiple industrial backgrounds like sports, cultures, entertainment, education and investment. Through communication with foreign applicants, AllBright Law Offices had a deeper understanding of the advantages and shortcomings of foreign professionals, which facilitated the recruiter to find the most suitable candidates. Moreover it enhanced the law firm’s prestige among foreign students.
