Interview
Find a place where you will not be interrupted, lay your CV/ any notes out in front of you so you can refer to them quickly if you need to.
Have a pen and paper in case you need to make a note of anything, such as the question being asked or something you think you might want to explore later.
Answer the phone with a smile! Smiling can help you to relax and, as a result, you will come across as more confident, friendly and assertive.
Talk clearly and distinctly and think about your pace; if the interviewer is asking you to repeat yourself it might be because you are talking too fast.
Try to connect with the interviewer in some way to build rapport. Consider what you might have in common and draw on this to create a dialogue

Question 1
How did your experience at school inform your choice in applying for our firm?
Technical questions were not like other technical interviews. They give you answers as options to pick from instead of you coming up with and presenting your answer like you would normally

Strength based interview, approx. 30 mins. The interviewers were friendly and approachable, as were the entire Talent team. Walked through my CV, general "why us, why you, why this team" questions. Felt like they really wanted to get to know you and how you would fit into the culture.
Super straight forward, standard difficulty questions with a few requiring STAR structured responses. They also asked about my experiences both at uni and extracurricular. It was online for me and I had 2 interviewers.
