    In an interview, if I'm asked something like "Tell me about a time when a deadline has changed?" but a deadline has never changed for me, is it okay to respond with "that has actually never happened to me, but if it did, then I would..."

    Or is this just an absolute no-go?
    I jus am finding I don't have any examples of certain competencies.

    I'd love to know if anyone knows and can inform me if Slaughters drills you down on the question of whether you've applied to other law firms like do they ask you to speak about another firm or simply use it to bounce on an implicit q of 'Why Slaughters?'
    It really depends on who your interviewers are. When I interviewed with them last year I wasn't even asked "why Slaughters". To be safe you should still prep a response for what other firms you've applied to and make sure there's some common thread between them! Feel free to PM me if you want to know more about my experience with Slaughters' interview :D

    Hi guys.
    Not sure if this fully appropriate but do you guys have any recommendations of websites that offer free AC case study practise and resources of a similar sort?
    as much as I’d love to, I simply cannot afford £40 for the TCLA resources even though I know they’re really really good.

    any help is appreciated!!
