[QUOTE="Amma Usman, post: 213349, member: 36740"] The thing I like about questions like these is that they don’t have to relate to law or the field at all. By asking these questions, law firms just really want to understand your personality and see whether that fits neatly into their culture. So, “superpower“ could really be anything that brings a vibrant smile to your face. I appreciate that these questions may shock one when asked, because obviously the expected questions are always something like “why commercial law”, “what do you think about the stock market right now?”, and so on. But truly, just treat it like a fun conversation - striking a balance between informality and professionalism, and you’ll do very well. I have been asked these questions in a number of interviews. First one - I completely bombed. But once I spoke to a mentor and they told me what I’ve shared above, they became easier to handle and deal with over time. [/QUOTE]
