Any tips for the Irwin Mitchell video interview and online assessment. How many questions do they ask about your motivations for the firm etc. Is it a get to know you then assessment or is it more of the typical application questions in a video format? Any help would be so appreciated

Hi @Jessica Booker @Ram Sabaratnam
When Goodwin ask "Which other firms are you applying to and why? Max 200 words" what are they looking for? Do they want you to list firms and their qualities, or write in detail and link back to Goodwin?
They want to hear what your application strategy is and what’s important to you. They will be assessing then how they fit into that strategy.
