Honestly, I think that is a really interesting comment as it reminded me of an article I read in the Wall Street Journal about how ‘interviews are an exercise in deception’ which I think is true in some regards, for better and for worse. Nevertheless, that means that your skills will definitely come in handy going forward and I am sure you have done well in your past interviews as a result!The reason for mentioning this is to give you confidence that you will probably do quite well in interviews without stressing too much about preparing individual topics to excess, as I think you are unlikely to get grilled too deeply about a subject. Perhaps read up extra on environmental law/ESG if you are going to claim this as a key interest of yours, but otherwise focus on really keeping up to date with commercial news and developments relating to any firm that you are interviewing for. I recommend Watson’s Daily and the Finimize daily brief and I would also suggest setting a Google Alert for the name of any firms you are interviewing at. Then make sure that you have your motivations truly bedded down as this can really make or break an interview.Going forward, you should consider 2 weeks more than enough time to prepare for an AC. Like you, I also went into the application process being unsure of how compelling my interests in certain areas of law were and lacking in commercial awareness. Nevertheless the right kind of preparation for 2-3 days before an interview could really get me where I needed to be to keep up the ‘exercise in deception’ over an assessment day!Don’t stress as your adaptability is an asset that I know will help you excel <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
