[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 218762, member: 36777"] Firms often asks a mix of competency and motivational questions, among the most usual being the so-called big three: why you, why the firm, why commercial law. However, in many cases you will also be asked some less-encountered questions, such as: [LIST] [*]Tell me about a weakness, or tell me about a time you made a serious mistake? [*]What do you expect to be you biggest challenges in the VS/in our TC? [*]Why do you want to work in London specifically? [*]What practice areas are you most interested in and why? [/LIST] As such, I would advise you to prepare thoroughly and practice answering a broad range of questions. [/QUOTE]
