Here are some tips to help you excel in your video interview:Test Your Technology:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ensure your internet connection is stable.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Use a computer or laptop with a webcam, microphone, and speakers.</li> </ul>Choose a Professional Setting:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Select a quiet, well-lit, and clutter-free location for the interview.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Make sure the background is professional and not distracting.</li> </ul>Dress Professionally:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Dress in formal business attire, just as you would for an in-person interview.</li> </ul>Practice and Prepare:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Research the law firm thoroughly, including its culture, practice areas, recent cases, and notable attorneys.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Review common interview questions and prepare concise, well-structured answers.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Record yourself to evaluate your body language, tone, and responses.</li> </ul>Showcase Your Skills and Experience:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Be ready to discuss your resume, emphasizing relevant experience, skills, and accomplishments.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Highlight any legal internships, clerkships, or coursework relevant to the firm's practice areas.</li> </ul>Behavioral Questions:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Expect behavioral questions that assess your teamwork, problem-solving, and communication skills.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Use the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) method to structure your responses.</li> </ul>Body Language:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Maintain eye contact with the camera, not the screen.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Sit up straight and engage in active listening.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Avoid distracting habits like fidgeting or excessive hand gestures.</li> </ul>Stay Calm and Confident:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Nervousness is normal, but try to stay composed and confident throughout the interview.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Take your time to think before answering questions, and don't rush.</li> </ul>I hope that these are useful to you and as always BE YOURSELF. This is the biggest piece of advice that I can give to someone, as long as you tried to convey the person that you are, everything will be fine! For the assessment specifically I would recommend to brush up your math since it is very math heavy and quite numerical which throws off many students! (as we mostly do law to avoid math😂) and be confident with logical or cognitive games, which can be helpful. I would say that if you can practice with finance test applications you are giving yourself a good practicing experience in my opinion! Good luck with that!
