Reading on your progress really excites me <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />With video interviews, there usually tends to be a pattern. In my experience, they usually centre on your reaction to a certain situation, or you explaining how you demonstrated a particular skill or competency. The truth is, it is impossible to prepare for every type of question that could come up. But I always say this - once you know your experiences well, then whatever question you are asked, you will be able to ace it. That’s the truth. Once I understood this, preparing for interviews, whether that be VIs, or real-life in-person ones, become easier. When answering, aim to follow the STAR format, but don‘t be too strict or rigid with that, as how you write STAR will be vastly different to how you orally speak it in order to make it flow. You essentially want to make it sound natural and personable. You also want to make it impactful. How you make it impactful is by not talking quickly, taking breaks to collect your thoughts, while still being mindful of time.General examples include:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Tell me about a recent news story that interests you and why. How would it impact our clients? </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Tell me about a time you showcased perseverance. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Why are you choosing to apply to X firm and what makes you think you are a great fit (yes, even the most rather straightforward questions like this can be asked). </li> </ul>So you see how when I say knowing your experiences in and out will help get you through the associated challenges of preparing for this stage. I have complete faith in you to ace the VI, and please do let us know if you’ve got any questions at all. There’s also a really helpful guide on VIs by [USER=36777]@Andrei Radu[/USER], which I have linked to help - <a href="https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/a-complete-guide-for-competency-interview-preparation.9380/" target="_blank">https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/a-complete-guide-for-competency-interview-preparation.9380/</a></blockquote>
