I am going to post my initial thoughts and may come back to it. I still can't get over [USER=16764]@James Carrabino[/USER]'s question about wine 😅.Personally the hardest questions that I found at the time were:Level: Training Contract interviews1. Why commercial law and not consulting?I just had not considered this particular comparison at the time of my interview.2. What could X firm do better?This question really stumped me. With regard to the particular firm that asked me, I still honestly do not know the answer. I replied at the time saying that the firm's reputation amongst students might dissuade some (capable) students from applying because they might feel like they did not fit in. The Partner replied that this was a stock answer and for me to give another reason. I still do not really know how I would answer this question honestly.3. What is your biggest weakness?I think this is a really tough question to get right. On the one hand you do not want to portray yourself in a very negative light, but you also want to avoid giving a 'false' weakness (I was accused of this in an interview!).Level: Vacation scheme interviews4. You are going to train at X firm aren't you?I completed a workshop at another firm's open day and my interviewer had seen this on my LinkedIn profile. I answered this well, but it was a tough one at the time, especially because the two firms are quite similar.5. How do you tell someone that you do not like them?This was a little strange.6. What role do you naturally play in a group?Tough question. One which I think is difficult to answer in a unique, non-stock answer way!Really looking forward to seeing more replies to this thread 🙌</blockquote>
