Hi [USER=15174]@zidoeslaw[/USER],

Congratulations on getting to the interview stage! That's a huge achievement.

So I was unfamiliar with what "strength-based interviews" meant too. I do not think any of the firms that I interviewed with used this terminology when I was applying. After a quick google search, I found this lawcareers.net article. I think that some strength-based questions are what I would call competency questions (i.e., tell me about a time...). They also seem to be scenario-based (i.e., what would you do in X situation). Finally they can be simple and direct: "what is your biggest strength/weakness?" or "how would your friends describe you?".

I will tag other members of the team to see if they can shed any further light on this.
