[QUOTE="Alice G, post: 27045, member: 1160"] Hi :) The key to why law is honestly making it as personal to you as possible and constructing a bit of a story as to why you are embarking on this path. I can't really say much beyond that because the key to it being solid is all about how authentic and honest your response is and how well it marries up with your past experiences. That does not mean you have to have legal work experiences and to have undertaken a law degree, it means you have to be able to convincingly say what it has been about your past experiences, whatever those are, that has set you onto the path of looking at the law. This does not have to be an 'impressive' answer in that it doesn't need to be super articulate and technical - it just needs to be really authentic and personal, that is what makes it memorable. I am thinking that I may actually write a post on video interview tips this week given the current situation. Let me try and work on this in the next couple of days and will link it in this thread and tag you :) some quick tips: wear interview attire, be smiley and look at your camera, not the screen. Check all the technical stuff ahead of time. Also - you can have post-its on your laptop which can prompt you and help with the nerves a bit. Maybe have one post it for instance which bullet points you reasons for 'why this firm' and whichever other ones which may be helpful. Good luck this week :) [/QUOTE]
