[QUOTE="axelbeugre, post: 150978, member: 30937"] Totally understandable, they are super difficult and quite daunting and unnatural to so many people. I can give general tips that I found useful when going through the process last year: [LIST=1] [*][B]Dress Professionally[/B]: Dress in professional attire, as you would for an in-person interview. This made me feel much more prepared and like I was facing an actual interview. [*][B]Practice with a Mock Interview[/B]: Conduct a practice video interview with a friend or family member to get comfortable with the format and to receive feedback. [*][B]Body Language[/B]: Maintain good posture, make eye contact with the camera, and use hand gestures sparingly. Treat the video interview like an in-person meeting. [*][B]Practice Your Elevator Pitch[/B]: Be ready to introduce yourself, your qualifications, and your interest in the law firm in a concise and engaging manner. [*][B]Research the Law Firm[/B]: Understand the law firm's history, culture, practice areas, and recent cases. Be prepared to discuss why you want to work at that specific firm. [*][B]Behavioral Questions[/B]: Expect questions about your experiences, skills, and how you've handled challenges. Use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure your answers. [*][B]Legal Knowledge[/B]: Brush up on your legal knowledge, especially in areas relevant to the firm's practice. Be ready to discuss recent legal developments. [*][B]Show Enthusiasm[/B]: Communicate your enthusiasm for the position and the firm. A positive attitude and eagerness to learn and contribute can make a strong impression. [*][B]Stay Calm Under Pressure[/B]: Video interviews can be intimidating, but practice and preparation will help you feel more confident. Take a deep breath and stay composed, even if you encounter technical issues. [/LIST] I hope these help for future application and always keep pursuing your dream regardless of these rejections! Good luck! [USER=23137]@Tanyakaur11[/USER] [/QUOTE]
