Here’s an interview insight from 2019-2020 - https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/bclp-interview-2019-20.2241/
Have they told you what the mark up exercise and the pres. are focused on? Perhaps I’ll be able to shed more thoughts from there.
For a strength-based interview, my biggest tip is to look at all your experiences holistically, not just professional ones but also extracurriculars, academics, volunteering, and any other areas where you have demonstrated key skills. This approach will help you confidently answer a wide range of questions and showcase diverse competencies without feeling like you need to memorize overly prepared answers. Unlike a written application where you can finesse responses in 200 words, strength-based interviews require depth and detail. Be ready to expand on tasks you have done. What challenges did you face? How did you demonstrate and apply your strengths? What was the result? They are looking for real insight into how you work and problem-solve.
Stay reflective and focus on showcasing your natural abilities rather than giving rehearsed answers. You’ve got this.
Im sorry to hear this. Which office did you apply for? Good luck with other applications!Brabners PFO
It probably sounds obvious but how do I actually answer ‘why me’ or any other question which essentially asks this in an AC interview? Should I make 3 points with a STAR analysis for 3 qualities they look for? I don’t want to waffle but also want to say enough😂
Hey guys, I have my SM interview tomorrow and wanted to ask if anyone has any advice. I feel particularly nervous about the article discussion, so I would appreciate any insights or general advice on how it would be best to approach this. Thanks in advance
I have heard of them asking questions about your worst module to throw you off so prepare for that in case.Hey guys, I have my SM interview tomorrow and wanted to ask if anyone has any advice.

same here. kind of shit to not get to know why they were waiting so long with them
Does anybody have experience with Ashurst’s cappfinity test? What should I expect other than trauma etc.😭😭
I did it last month but honestly forgot a lot of it because I think my mind has blocked it out bc of the trauma 😭 I did somehow pass it though, and honestly, I would just say research and think about Ashurst's values and what the role of a trainee requires for the SJT bit (because they assess you against Ashurst's behavioural skills).
Im pretty sure there was also a critical thinking test, which was a lot easier than the WG but similar question types so would prepare as if it were WG
(I have done too many of these online tests that my brain has merged all of them together as ptsd, but this is what I remember).
