I've recently been invited to complete Morgan Lewis' telephone interview - if anyone has any insight or advice for being successful at this stage I would really appreciate it! I've never completed a telephone interview before.

Hi all, I have a job as a conveyancing assistant. Will this be helpful with applications? I fear it is too far removed from commercial law

Hi,

Congratulations, when did you apply if you don't mind me asking? Was it close to the deadline?

Early June

Congratulations! Do you mind telling when did the invite come through

Last night at 2AM. The US office must be handling the recruitment

I worked as a legal secretary for a conveyancing specialist firm which I have found extremely helpful for commercial law applications. I imagine a job as a conveyancing assistant would be similar! For example, if I am applying to a firm with a strong real estate practice I often talk about how my interest in real estate law was sparked by my time working at the conveyancing firm.

Twist it as real estate work?
