Message: <blockquote data-quote="Amma Usman" data-source="post: 208858" data-attributes="member: 36740">I’m sorry about this. You’re doing better than you think. Showing up and continuing to apply, even when it feels like nothing’s working, takes serious resilience.Keep backing yourself! For video interviews, here are some tips that might help:    1. Know your story. Have clear reasons for why you chose law, why commercial law, and why that specific firm. Practise until it feels natural, not scripted.   2. Get used to recording yourself. Watch your posture, facial expressions, pace, and tone. Try to sound conversational, not like you’re reading. Aim for 90 seconds to 2 minutes per answer.  3. Use the STAR method but stay flexible. Give enough context but avoid over-explaining. Make your key achievement clear in each example.   4. Smile and maintain eye contact by looking into the camera. It makes a big difference in how confident and approachable you come across.   5. Research recent deals or initiatives by the firm. Referencing something current shows genuine interest and commercial awareness.   6. Pause before answering. It shows control and gives you a second to gather your thoughts. You don’t have to rush.  7. Prepare for common questions like: Tell me about yourself, Why this firm, What’s a recent commercial story you found interesting, or Give an example of teamwork or resilience.  8. Rest when you need to. It’s okay to pause applications if it’s getting too much. Burnout won’t help your performance.  The right opportunity is coming.  Keep going Xx..!!!</blockquote>
