[QUOTE="Ram Sabaratnam, post: 199465, member: 36738"] Hiya [USER=34873]@AS24[/USER] Well done on getting to the VI stage! While the questions may have changed, when I did the V&E VI, we were given 1 minute to think of our answers and 1 minute and 30 seconds to respond. There was one motivational question, and the rest focused on personality and past experiences. Overall, I’d encourage you to really think about your interest in both V&E and commercial law, making sure your answer is specific and structured clearly. I'd also encourage you to have a think about your own skills and unique experiences to date. More generally, I really think the key to a strong video interview is staying calm, directly answering the question asked, and structuring your response in a way that makes it easy for the viewer to follow. You definitely don't want to pack everything you know about the firm into your response; just the stuff that's most important, relevant, and compelling. I also firmly believe that practising out loud and even recording yourself will help you refine your delivery over time and sound more natural. Try to avoid sounding overly rehearsed (no reading from scripts!), and just have some bullet points ready during your 1 minute preparation time to help you sound slightly more natural. Good luck!
