Honestly I think it's almost impossible to prep for curveballs, a firm could ask literally anything - but as long as you have a good baseline (which you do!) you'll be able to make something up on the spot.
Sidenote: I had a dream a partner asked me, 'if you were a type of food, which one would you be' and I said steak
My reasoning was 'if a client wants me to be tough, I'll be well-done, and if a client wants me to be tender, consider me bleu' 😭😭😭😭 okay girl xxx
Usually I’ll prepare motivational and competency answers but sometimes firms like Hogan Lovells or Willkie will throw in commercial awareness so I prepared for those VI questions too.
I use flash cards to write down bullet points so in the TI/VI I can remember a basic structure, cos otherwise I’m just gna waffle lmao. I try not to use pre-written scripts cos that’s just effort.
I’m under the impression curveball questions are usually reserved for ACs or final stages tbh.
Thank you both!! Let me make some notes 🤭
ALSO LOL? @Donna Paulsen this steak dream 🤣🤣🤣 Tbh I’m liking the answer and seeing the vision!
