Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chris Brown" data-source="post: 211174" data-attributes="member: 35674">I’m not an expert by any means at interviews or anything but there are a few things that have crossed my mind. Firstly, I don’t think it’s ideal to rehearse and memorise answers to specific questions in advance of an interview. It is very tempting when preparing for an interview or an AC to plan 100% scripted responses and give verbatim answers in interviews. I think this will inevitably work against you. Instead, it might be better to have a few points in mind that you intend to make. 🥲 I say this because interviewers will most likely ask their questions in different ways and it’s not easy to anticipate the sort of answers they are looking for. I guess it’s a key skill that they assess in seeing how flexible and responsive someone is to their questions. For example, ‘why commercial law’ could mean ‘why do you want to become a commercial lawyer?’ or ‘why are you interested in commercial law?’ It could also mean ‘why specifically commercial law and not a different career?’ 🙂 In my interviews, I tried to focus my responses on a few things: (1) my understanding of what commercial law is and why it appeals to me, (2) what initially sparked my interest in commercial law and why, (3) what I did to develop my interest in commercial law and (4) why I would like to pursue commercial law as a career as a result of these things. Of course it’s not possible to have perfect answers, but I approached it with this methodology and it seemed to have been received well. 😅 I think these posts by the TCLA forum GOAT [USER=36777]@Andrei Radu[/USER] would be useful for future ACs and interviews. I have utilised his advice in my preparation and it has helped me so much in navigating my approach to interviews. I had no idea how to begin preparing, primarily because this was my first cycle of applications. I believe that his ideas were paramount to my success in this cycle. I would recommend that everyone takes the time to read these posts tbh. I will quote them below: 🐐 </blockquote>
