HUGE CONGRATS!In terms of preparing for competency based interviews, it’s important to first acknowledge that it differs from a motivational interview. Competency interviews, quite literally, test certain competencies - organisational management, commercial acumen, etc. However, I also want to let you know that I’ve done interviews that were called “competency”, but still “motivational“ in some respects - so, asking the basic questions like “why the firm, why commercial law”. The competency part will likely cover “why you”. Prepare for the full spectrum just in case. You can also book mock interviews with TCLA via here. If you have an existing membership, I recommend logging in first to the TCLA courses page  - <a href="https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/mock-interview-2/" target="_blank">https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/mock-interview-2/</a>In terms of general tips:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I always say this: know your experiences in and out. That way, whatever question you’re asked, you’ll be able to ace it. The reason this works is because you’ll naturally be able to pick out the key skills and competencies you acquired through knowing each individual task you did. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Know the core practices at the firm and weave into some answers (as is relevant) why you want to complete a VS there. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ask thoughtful questions at the end. I say thoughtful because you don’t want to be the person that asks really generic questions. My approach with this is always to ask interviewers something about their own work and experiences - that way, you learn a lot about the firm and the role at large. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A great guide by [USER=36777]@Andrei Radu[/USER] to help - <a href="https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/a-complete-guide-for-competency-interview-preparation.9380/" target="_blank">https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/a-complete-guide-for-competency-interview-preparation.9380/</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Vocal intonation and eye contact - a given, but worth flagging still. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Professional attire - even if it‘s an online interview, I recommend putting over a formal blazer. </li> </ul></blockquote>
