So in my interview there were four questions. Three competency based and one commercial one. The questions come up on your screen and then you have a couple of minutes to prepare your answer. It wasn't too bad! It varies with the questions though as one of my friends didn't get the commercial question...

Is there a time limit? And if so, what is it?

So I would suggest just having a couple of commercial issues you could talk about and always think about how these issues impact law firms :smile:

Yes she only had competency bases questions. Good luck!

I guess we can't really go into detail but he/she was definitely right. Do prepare some commercial issues for the video interview just in case and best of luck! Just relax and be confident as I was way too nervous when i did my interview!

Hi! im also looking to prepare for my video interview and I was wondering what you mean by a commercial question like what was it looking for? was it relating directly to the firm? if you could give me an insight into what it was would be so grateful!
