    CV Blind Interviews

    Often in a CV blind interview, the first question will be tell me about yourself, so, I start with my name, educational background, extra-curricular activities, hobbies and interests. I then briefly summarise my legal and non-legal experience. I hope this helps.

    A&O and CC interview

    No they didn’t ask me! But they could do, so I think it would be best if you do prepare a recent deal, just in case.
