Just wanted to add some Cooley-related information to the excellent response by [USER=36777]@Andrei Radu[/USER].As I'm sure you'll already know, the Cooley video interview typically involves two senior fee earners who will ask a mix of motivational and competency-based questions (there were no real commercial awareness questions - these are typically dealt with during the assessment centre). The interviewers will likely have read your application beforehand, so it’s a good idea to reflect on your experiences, particularly any work experience you’ve mentioned, and your motivations for joining the firm.For example, I was asked about my background as a career changer and why I had decided to pursue law at this stage. I was also asked to elaborate on two of the legal work experiences that I'd mentioned in my application, with follow-up questions requiring competency-based answers. The interviewers were clearly interested in understanding my thought process behind how I carried out certain tasks during these work experiences and I'd recommend sticking to a clear STAR structure when answering such questions.Additionally, I was given the names of my interviewers in advance. This was really helpful in allowing me to prepare tailored questions about their careers and their reasons for joining Cooley. If you've received your interviewers' names, it’s worth looking them up briefly.Overall, I’d recommend thinking about any aspects of your application that stand out or could benefit from further explanation, as these might be areas your interviewers choose to explore. Good luck to everyone doing their video interviews!</blockquote>
