[QUOTE="Naomi, post: 8886, member: 822"] Hi all, I was just reflecting on my Mayer Brown interview and wondering what you all thought of CV blind interviews and/or how to approach these. I personally found it a bit difficult because I would keep forgetting they hadn't read anything about me and so I think my answers could have come across clearer had I not been worried about repeating myself. It felt like I was building on points I'd made in my application and then backtracking when I realised there was no context. And also trying not to mention my university when talking about my involvement in societies etc. felt a bit unnatural although grad rec advised us this way. It probably didn't help that the partner actually said at the end "sorry forgot to say this at the start that this is a CV blind interview..." Going forward, is there a list somewhere of firms which interview this way? [/QUOTE]
