[QUOTE="tylergab, post: 5505, member: 504"] My interview was extremely similar, it's not commercial based at all! The interview is very you focused and the only time I spoke about anything commercial was because I drew on wider examples that linked towards my why law answer (especially if you're talking about your interest in business and the way they strategize you could give a recent example, and then link it to why you're interested in this within a legal framework). Also in my why them answer, in talking about their international strategy, I think naturally you can draw on what this means commercially. It's very relaxed and they give you time to really sell yourself, my interview ran over because we genuinely were having a conversation! Also after the interview, you have an opportunity to ask a trainee a few questions. My advice would be don't approach them straightaway with "I have 2 questions for you" (obviously have some planned) but just use the time to network normally and get to know them because you will probably gain more than just getting one question answered. I started with asking the trainee more conversational questions about her and we quickly realized we had a lot in common and ended up going to the W&C canteen to have a coffee for an hour so we could continue our conversation and have since stayed in touch. Whereas I know other people just asked one or two questions and then that was it. Overall I think know your application inside out because the interview format isn't 'surprise questions' but more picking at your application and going into more detail about things they find interesting you have mentioned.
