[QUOTE="Novaa, post: 237520, member: 26320"] Commercial Awareness: - What challenges/opportunities for Clients? (Look at their strategic vision / [Core Practice Areas] trends for 2026 presentations) - What clients look for in firms? - Tell us about a deal that interests you (Prepare to include why? How the firm can advise?) I think this should give you a solid foundation for any commercial awareness question Competency: - I would have two STAR examples you could mention for the following core competencies (Collaboration, Communication, Conflict Management, Time Management, Leadership) [IMG alt="You Got This Schitts Creek GIF by CBC"]https://media4.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTZhYjVjZjE1Y3NybDFsam10N2Jna3pxMnZzc2VsdmZ1emUyYXVpbXIwZHFlamk0aCZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/26gs9oNcFxokURtvO/200.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
