Does anyone have a list of questions that usually come up in a video interview?
I've done about 10 VI's and honestly, the questions were all different. They were not even Why Law, Why do you want to work here... Some completely threw me off, asking about firm strategy and values etc. I didn't see a trend, but then perhaps its the type of firm one applies to...
