Message: <blockquote data-quote="Alison C" data-source="post: 104842" data-attributes="member: 3943">Super quick response on a busy day.STAR on the whole gives a good structure - try to have some examples of the transferable skills in your head. They basically want to know you are going to cope, be organised and hardworking, take instruction, not commit data breaches, and be the right balance of independent and ready to ask for help. You need to be really good at dealing with multiple tasks, tracking your caseload etc. Think of some times when you've done really effective filing.They might ask you 'what would you do if...?' questions, but probably not so high level as SJT. They want to know you have an awareness of ethical codes. Data breaches are really easy to make mistakes on but they will have a policy and they will want you to fess up straight away. The same is true of attn to detail - you need to be as punctilious as possible.Find some online examples of the kinds of docs they say you need to assist in drafting just so you know what the firm needs.Any employer will know you are applying for jobs. We all need to pay the bills. They want you to be super keen to work for them but it's not a life sentence. They may want to know you are NOT expecting a TC from them, and may even have a policy where you can't apply for one if you've been a paralegal there, so if that's an issue, at least find out where you stand.Good Q's could be along the lines of the initiatives in the firm you might be able to take part in, eg diversity groups, language classes....That's a start for you - good luck and enjoy the prep!</blockquote>
