Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jaysen" data-source="post: 6601" data-attributes="member: 1">Anonymous - The primary focus of my interview was what I had put in my CV.I got asked the standard questions, Why Slaughters? , Why Law? Alternative Careers? (like if you couldnt be a lawyer)I then got asked some specific questions, modules Id done poorly on they asked why? They then probed my reasoning for why ( this was my downfall as I hadnt properly thought about the the follow up questions) They also asked about the modules I had done well in (non commercial ones) and why I didnt want to go into that area?They also asked my interests and why, weirdly they then went onto ask what else? This sort of threw me off as I had just given three of my hobbies and I was unsure if this wasnt enough? In hindsight was really just to see how Id respond to a more curveball-esque question.I got asked about my involvement in societies and why?In terms of commercial questions the only question was a recent article that interested you? Another downfall of mine was that I didn't have a broad enough knowledge of the subject matter of the article, so when the probing follow up questions began my responses were relatively weak. You then also have to do a similar article probing with the case study exercise, so the majority of my interview was literally talking about two articles.I also asked some follow up questions, which they didn't actually answer and just said "I actually really want to ask you that question" So I ended up answering all my own questions and then got the partner perspective who basically agreed with me.Ultimately I wasn't successful, but I think my biggest downfall was not preparing / thinking about the follow up questions to everything your asked. So Id recommend looking at your CV and really thinking about the sort of things they'd ask you, how'd you respond and the follow up questions.</blockquote>
