[QUOTE="Amma Usman, post: 208070, member: 36740"] I completely understand how frustrating this process can feel, but please don’t be too hard on yourself. The fact that you’re consistently securing video interviews and final-stage assessments shows that you absolutely have what it takes. Firms are clearly seeing potential in you, and it’s just about getting over that final hurdle. That breakthrough will come. I know it’s discouraging when you’re not getting feedback, but don’t let that shake your confidence. Every application you submit is another opportunity, and you never know which one will be the one. Farrer could be that firm, so don’t let doubt hold you back. You’ve already made incredible progress, and you are so close to getting to where you want to be. Keep pushing. You’re doing way better than you think, and the right opportunity is coming your way soon. One thing that really helped me with VIs was recording myself answering common questions like "Why commercial law?", "Why this firm?", and "Discuss a recent news story and its impact on businesses." Watching the recordings allowed me to spot areas for improvement, whether it was pacing, reducing filler words like "um," or making my answers more structured. I also shared the videos with others to get external feedback, which helped me refine my delivery and clarity. This method made a big difference in preparing for future VIs. I have also linked Andrei‘s great guide on interviews here to help - [URL]https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/a-complete-guide-for-competency-interview-preparation.9380/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
