This stage includes an article-based interview and a further competency interview with a partner and a senior associate.I was hoping to get some advice on how best to prepare for the article-based interview. Do you have any tips on how to approach it effectively, particularly in terms of structuring responses and demonstrating commercial awareness, especially since I’ve been told it likely won’t be very legal?Additionally, I’m feeling a bit unsure about how to approach the further competency interview. Since my first interview with Graduate Recruitment was also competency-based and covered questions like “Why Gibson Dunn?”, “Why law?”, and “Tell me about yourself,” I’m not sure if I need to adapt my answers for the final stage.In the first interview, I focused on Gibson Dunn’s strengths across transactional and contentious work, the appeal of the free market system, the training philosophy, and the firm’s culture. Should I give different reasons this time, or is it okay to reiterate and expand on these points? Similarly, should I change my answer to “Why law?” or even adjust how I introduce myself at the start of the interview?Any advice on these points would be so appreciated! Thank you in advance for your help.</blockquote>
