[QUOTE="Salma, post: 4894, member: 23"] He has just responded with the following: 1. Be calm and be yourself. You've got this far for a reason. 2.make sure you know your application inside-out. This is crucial. You need to be able to answer questions picked from any part of your application. 3. You want to ensure that you can speak about any of your work experiences/extra curricular activities clearly while setting out the key skills you developed. 4. You need to be up to date with commercial news and be able to communicate why you find the news story interesting and its potential legal/business implications. Make sure it's a story you're genuinely interested in. 5. Have examples of a range of deals the firm has worked on from different practice areas. This doesn't mean you need to know a 1,000 deals. 3-4 should be fine. 6. You MUST prepare for competency questions. 7. Have an understanding of the role of a trainee. Also, just to add, after attending their open day recently, I agree with everything said above, especially with the commercial news/awareness point. GR team specifically said that they will ask you what you have been following in the press, what your opinion is and at times, you will be pushed out of your comfort zone, stand your ground (!!). Good luck, if you need anything else, please do let me know :) [/QUOTE]
