[QUOTE="ZNadeem, post: 217308, member: 40237"] Hi! Do you know if it’s CV-blind or competency-based? That will shape your prep. In any case, I’d suggest: [LIST] [*]Focus on competency and strength-based questions — use STAR to structure your answers clearly. Look at key competencies firms usually value (teamwork, resilience, communication, leadership, attention to detail). [*]Refine your answers to the basic motivational questions: “Why commercial law?”, “Why this firm?”, and “Why you?”. These often set the tone. [*]Prepare for commercial awareness questions — have one recent deal the firm has worked on and one broader news story (ideally with business implications) that you can discuss. [/LIST] That should give you a strong base of confidence going in. [/QUOTE]
