You will (depending on the firm) have about 60-90 seconds to answer each question. Your idea to include 2-3 points is great, but may come at the expense of you being able to adequately answer the question to the fullest. As it says a news story, I believe one central trending topic, together with short descriptions of why it interests you (perhaps consider linking to your own work/life experience, something you read or watched) would be the more direct approach. This will enable you to hit the nail on the head and overwhelm yourself less with trying to cover the broader impacts of a law firm’s position in it all.In my experience, video interviews typically tripped me up because I had so many things running through my head, only few of which were actually relevant to the question being asked. What helped me was walking into them with the intention of focusing on only one (very rarely, two) points and expanding on them in great detail. On more soft tips to ace these… hand gestures, vocal intonation, and overall presentation, also help elevate your responses.This is an example of what I might say (adjusted to say a 60 second answer) to your question:- The news story I have picked is one which aligns with the proposed changes in the 2024 Employment Rights Bill. - Briefly explain the change - For example, the UK now offers statutory sick pay from day one, including for about a million low-income workers who were previously ineligible. - Highlight why it matters– This ensures workers don’t feel pressured to work while sick, improving public health and financial security. - Link it to employment law – It reflects a shift towards fairer workplace rights and protections, for example. - Make it personal – Studying employment law, this demonstrates evolving employee rights and it interests me because of X Y Z.</blockquote>
