BCLP Video Interview
- Thread starter akskhurana

Hi,
I did a video interview with BCLP last application round. I was not successful (but that was probably because I had covid during the interview). The interview is conducted by their grad recruitment team. There were two interviewers. The format threw me off a little, it seemed as if I was up on a projector and they were looking up at me. They weren't really making a lot of eye contact either, so it felt more like I was presenting than being interviewed. Because of this I did feel a little rushed, but if I could do it again, I would probably take my time. So definitely be prepared for something like that.
They were mostly standard questions: why law in the city? why commercial law? why BCLP? I think there were one or two competency questions like explain when you worked in a team.
The interview lasted about 40-45 mins. You are also given an opportunity to ask them questions at the end, I prepared 2-3 qs to ask beforehand.
