[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 249776, member: 42112"] Hello! Congratulations on the TI invite! As it is likely that you will have less time in the telephone interview, I would follow a simple structure to ensure that you cover all of the points, such as: [LIST=1] [*]What drew you to law: start by showing what initially drew you to law and why you enjoy it, e.g. enjoying problem-solving, analysing complex issues, or seeing how decisions affect businesses [*]Why commercial law: show you understand it is about advising businesses, managing risk, etc. Essentially, show that you have an understanding of what the role of a commercial lawyer involves [*]Evidence: importantly, make sure to mention work experience, previous modules, or other evidence to back up any points you make. [/LIST] In terms of the length of your answer, I would aim for about 60 seconds which should cover your main points (+ the interviewers can ask follow-up questions if needed). Best of luck with the interview! :) [/QUOTE]
