    Try and be honest about it, take accountability, say what you learnt from it etc. Don't do what I did with my Travers Smith interview several years ago and say the completely honest (Autistic) truth: "Yeah, I never went to any of the lectures or tutorials as it didn't suit my learning style...

    My fear is that TS may have given out all their interviews already. Looking at the negatives, they only interview 5% of those who apply, according to Chamber Student. So very few people will hear back before they send out PFOs, presumably in a couple of weeks time. However, only one person...

    I paralegal at a mid tier firm in Manchester not in a commercial department and have gotten to interview stage at Travers and HSF, I don’t think they really care too much as long as you highlight your transferable skills etc. If you can get a paralegal role in corporate or commercial even better...

    By video interview (VI), do you mean like a pre-recorded style VI, or any kind of VI? I think Travers Smith have a similar process to Slaughter and May, except the partner interviews are conducted virtually. People who pass that interview get the VS offer, and do the AC during the VS. I think I...

    Going to an open day doesn't mean you actually applied to the firm for a TC/VS. I'm guessing you did, but merely talking about an open day simply shows you were doing in-person research to find out/inform your preferences in a firm. I think it'll be fine - at Dechert's open day they said you...

    Thank you and just did the interview. For anyone who has a Travers interview in the future or coming up you do not know what to expect so even if you prep don't be surprised if the interviewer asks you questions you were not expecting.

    That should not be an issue. I cut out in Travers interview. They get that tech often fails. Some firms get Ds for Legal Tech. This is Legal Cheek survey data. Things not working =/= your fault. At least not all the time.

    Hi! It is commercial discussing an article however I would say that it is a 50 50 split with competency questions. The competency questions were not too hard and felt like a conversation. For the commercial element there was not a lot of guidance for me, the Partner just kind of let me talk...
