[QUOTE="Amma Usman, post: 213213, member: 36740"] You’re welcome! Another thing I want to add is that while it is important to prepare for SJT type VI questions, there are some situations where you need to know specifics about the firm you are applying to, such as a recent deal that has interested you and why, their values and which appeal to you (and why), and so on. I guess with any application to a firm you will need to know these types of things anyway, but it is worth highlighting that specific questions on these may crop up even at VI stage. In any case, adequate research helps. It also helps speaking to any trainees or lawyers at the firm, so that when you are answering a question on values, for example, you can reference having that novel experience too. This helps position you as a candidate that not only thinks they know what they want, but have gone above and beyond to researching if and whether that firm can truly cater towards that. [/QUOTE]
