Hi @Abbie Whitlock ! Hope you are doing well. I am currently applying for a law firm's training contract, but i wasn't too sure on how should I approach this question. Could you help me give me some guidance on how to approach this question, especially the second part of the question? Should I talk more about what skills did I developed from my interest? If not, what kind of impact I should talk about?

The question: Tell us about a passion or interest of yours outside of law, and how this impacts you (or others)

Hi,
Not sure if this is very helpful but what i did to avoid feeling this was treat the AC as a practice run ANDDD think of it as a hurdle before you get a treat of choice (mine was gelato).
I was so focussed on trying to make the most of the AC AND getting done with it well so I can thoroughly enjoy my gelato that I forgot to compare myself to others there (you best believe I went out in the rain to get that gelato afterwards
).Ps. getting done with it well here just means doing what you can with the cards you are dealt. I know you can't always control the outcome but you can control your responses to whatever they throw at you and if you think you did your best, you deserve the GELATO (or your equivalent)

Although I don't have a TC and quite a few rejected applications, this is the strat I have gone for. I feel like the key is making sure you have some sort of grounding for why that one specific area. (I did a dissertation on proposing a regulatory framework for heritable genome editing so I am leaning into the life sciences sector).
Maybe take this with a pinch of salt, as I did not convert my AC at Slaughters (though their reasoning was one of "way of thinking", not competency), but I found it really helpful just knowing that it's people on the other side of the table you are interacting with, not robots.
You are there because you are good enough; no question about it. This is just the final check for suitability.
Try to genuinely enjoy the conversation and get on with them. You are a much more memorable candidate if they can actually like you as well! Also, as long as you are comfortable with basic scenario responses, you will be able to adapt your responses to different questions - they tend to follow the same sort of themes just with different manners of approach.
Good luck though, you will smash it I'm sure.
Potentially related: with certain apps you can use your phone as a webcam (I use it when I have a video meeting that I want to use desktop for.quick question concerning the w&c test, is it recorded bc my laptop is lowkey unusable and my pc doesn’t have a webcam
Literal mood. Does anyone know if PW sent ACs in batches or in one go for winter?
Oh, I think I applied for spring so i'm not sure if that person had an AC for winter?
Any news (good or bad) from Weil this week?
Just received my WG report from Linklaters- 72.5% in the test overall and 59% percentile... there goes another PFO
Is that a bad percentile? I got the same haha, but I passed 2 years ago with links with a 23% percentile for the WG somehow
. They said their sjt is much more important
Oh that makes me feel a tad bit better. Keeping my fingers crossed!!Is that a bad percentile? I got the same haha, but I passed 2 years ago with links with a 23% percentile for the WG somehow
Flex Legal Paralegal assessment invite. Celebrating the small wins 
Honestly as scary as it seems, they love their SJT over WG. So until they send that PFO there is still a chance
Also, heads up for anyone waiting on Links. They randomly select AC dates to resit the WG, so I’d maybe brush up on some practice tests still
Just curious, when it says 59th percentile - does it mean of general WG test, the general population or 59th percentile of Linklaters applicants who took the test? Because the two will be totally different.
