[QUOTE="Sandrou, post: 4597, member: 31"] First off, congrats on your interview. I do not have any direct experience re White & case but I do re competency interviews. 1. Practice and prepare motivational questions. The key ones which you NEED to perfect are: Why white & case? Why law? (If you’re non-law student this will DEFINITELY come up) Why commercial law? And perhaps, what skills do you have etc? Competency questions: You should google competency questions, plenty will come up. The usual ones will be based around examples where you’ve demonstrated team work, drive, resilience, organisation, dealt with disappointment, shown leadership. This is not exhaustive list! Moreover, US firms value entrepreneurial candidates, people who can think outside the box. So try and prepare an answer for questions relating to a time where you’ve been innovative. Note: some of your answers may lead to further questions based on the answers you give so be prepared to think on the spot. If you don’t have a direct example the worst thing you can do is not answer. Just give an example and try to link it to the competency they’re looking for somehow. Use the STAR method, it’ll help! Good luck! [/QUOTE]
