[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 220219, member: 42112"] Hello! From my understanding, you’re right that the video interview is likely to stick quite closely to those three categories - so instead of the classic ‘Why Law’ or ‘Why White & Case’ questions, you might get something that touches on similar themes but is framed around the role or commercial aspects. For example, the “question on the role” could still invite you to discuss and show your motivation for being a trainee at White & Case (indirectly asking ‘Why this firm’), while the “commercially-focused” question may test your understanding of how trainees engage with clients or market developments. I would still make sure to have your answers to ‘Why Law’ and ‘Why White & Case’ ready! These prompts underpin so many questions, and it’s useful for giving stronger, more personalised answers even if it’s not asked directly. I hope that helps :) [/QUOTE]
