This is often a shock to many lawyers who are used to consistently performing well under pressure in court or challenging client meetings. Applicants will rarely come out of a selection day saying that the interview questions or role play scenarios were difficult. They usually recognise that it was their performance that let them down.
What is not appreciated is that when one is outside of their comfort zone, with something vested in the outcome and the questions are about them, underperformance is the norm.
No matter how thorough your preparation, if you have do not understand what the right targets are and how to hit them and have not engaged in effective mental preparation, then you will inevitably fail to give your selection day your best shot.
Even where applicants have been through a Selection Day, they often come out of the other side still unclear as to what was expected and whether they delivered. Our video coaching program ensures you know what to expect and suggests best practices for navigating both the interview and role play.
