Additionally, I would say that you may want to pick 2 specific skills, for instance attention to detail and effective communication, describe them and how they would help become a successful solicitor and then link it back to how you possess these skills through your experiences . That is how I always approached questions like these.
I hope these tips help and good luck with the application!

Unfortunately specific questions cannot be shared on the forum to ensure fairness in the process. However, here are some posts that I and someone else shared tips on video interviews that might be helpful to you: there are some posts on TCLA from me and Erin that might be helpful, I will include some links here: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/how-to-prepare-for-a-law-firm-video-interview-a-step-by-step-guide-⭐️.8346/ and https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....ns-discussion-thread-2023-24.8037/post-151491
I hope these are helpful and good luck with the assessment!

I am not sure about this but I would assume that it might be okay. I personally would recommend choosing another room to record in or move your washing drying to another area until you finish with the video interview.

For Q3 I have recently shared my thoughts on this post which I would recommend looking at: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....ns-discussion-thread-2023-24.8037/post-163708
For Q2, I would dive deep into an example you have where you have proved yourself to be a valuable member of a team: this can be in sports, class projects, internship group tasks, everything that you can think of and can be convincing. I would describe the event using the STAR (situation, task, action, result) method and then include a final sentence stating how you will show this skill once you join the firm.
For Q1, I would divide my answer in two: the first part you deal with 2 or 3 reasons why you are attracted to the firm, whether it is their practice areas, international presence, clients, international opportunities, training contract structure, everything you can think of. You try and link these reasons back to your personal experiences and background. The second part should focus on the skills. Depending on the word count you have, I would choose 2/3 skills you think you have and describe experiences where you have developed and/or showed these skills and explain how these will make you a successful trainee in the future, distinguishing you from your peers.
I hope these tips are helpful and good luck with the application!

Congratulationsss!!! when did you apply and take the assessment?
Would also like to know this as I am currently waiting post-testCongratulationsss!!! when did you apply and take the assessment?
Hey! My usual approach to these questions is a skill, a short, specific example of how I've demonstrated it in previous roles and then one/two sentences explaining why it's useful and what aspects of the role I could apply it to
hope that's helpful. For 250/300 words I usually choose three skills and examples.Similar threads
