Client Interviewing Competition – National Training Day

On Saturday 27th January, the winners of our internal Client Interviewing Competition (Zeina Albuainain and Maya Altunsi) and the two runners-up (Edith Scott and Georgios Kollias) attended the National Training Day organised by the national Client Interviewing Competition at the University of Law, Bloomsbury.

They all conducted a practice interview with a ‘client’, and received valuable feedback from members of staff, and other competitors.

It was a very useful and enjoyable day.
