What’s the biggest single mistake people make during interview?
Candidates need to sell themselves at all times. With very little research candidates can find out the sort of questions that are likely to be asked during aninterview at a given firm. Some candidates are naturally good at interviews, but the majority of successful candidates are the ones who’ve prepared for them. When asked to describe a challenging situation that you might have faced, it’s always important to remember that the interviewer isn’t particularly interested in what the situation was: what they’re interested in is the skills and attributes that you were able to demonstrate that got you through it. The key competencies that law firms are looking for are well known. Think about these in the context of what you have done and have a good range of examples ready to demonstrate them.
