[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 585, member: 1"] Is there a particular part that you're looking for advice on? Recruiters are looking at a few things. Most importantly, how do you act in a group? Most applicants can discuss examples of when they've worked in a team but it's hard to know what an applicant is actually like in that dynamic unless they're in one. Much of your future as a solicitor will be working in groups and it's less about point-scoring and more about your ability to interact with others. That said, don't let that lead you the other way, you can only get graded if you speak up and sometimes it will be necessary to defend your point of view. You'll get credit for moving the group towards a goal. That could be managing time, encouraging your group to get back on track or canvassing perspectives from quieter members of the group. You also want to think (but not overthink) about the way you communicate. Do you raise clear points? Consider non-verbal cues here too, such as eye contact and posture. Some part of your performance will be based on the content of what you say. Typically, it's a business scenario, so they'll be looking for your commercial awareness. That could take many different forms, from bringing in outside knowledge - if relevant, to identifying a risk factor in the document that you've been given. [/QUOTE]
