[QUOTE="Harvey Specter, post: 211709, member: 35674"] [JUSTIFY]In my experience, having done a few telephone interviews this cycle, most of them involved motivational, competency and basic commercial awareness questions (e.g., recent news story), although I think this varies between firms. 🥲 The motivational questions would be similar to ‘why law’, ‘why commercial law’, ‘why this type of firm (e.g., MC/SC/US) and ‘why our firm’. In general, they require less depth than in-person interviews with partners or associates. 😅 I think telephone interviews usually follow a similar structure to pre-recorded VI. They are less intimidating than in-person interviews and live GR VIs. I don’t think you should worry too much. Best of luck with your interview. 🙂[/JUSTIFY] [/QUOTE]
