Message: <blockquote data-quote="Abbie Whitlock" data-source="post: 244935" data-attributes="member: 42112">Hello!Congratulations on receiving an interview invite!!Whilst I'm not too sure on the specifics of Slaughters' interview process, I can share some general tips on how I'd prepare. I would definitely recommend that you read <a href="https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/a-complete-guide-for-competency-interview-preparation.9380/" target="_blank">this forum post</a> by Andrei that goes into depth on competency interviews - it's really useful!I have quoted some posts below on previous advice I have shared for preparing for an interview - I would say that my main last minute tips is to make sure that you have your core motivational answers prepared (i.e. why Slaughters, why commercial law, and why you). Almost every interview will include these questions, and it is important that you tailor it to the firm and back up any points with examples from your past experiences (for example, if you say you enjoy X practice area, back it up with evidence of how this interest developed).Additionally, I would prepare an answer for common commercial awareness questions such as "Tell us about a recent news story that interested you" or "Who do you think our main competitors are, and why". You don't need to have an in-depth technical understanding of every aspect - simply being able to explain the trends in the market and how these will impact firm's and their clients should be enough!I hope that assists, and wishing you the best of luck - I'm sure you'll do great! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
