Blake Morgan - Second Interview

[chillblue]

Hi, I have a second interview at Blake Morgan and have been asked to do a presentation on a specific topic , which is fine . A legal scenario question 15 mins to read and 5 mins to report back, then 45 mins of competency questions. just wondering has anyone gone through this process and have any tips?

Thanks in advance

Hey, I went through this with Blake last year and it was actually rather fun, they are a great bunch! My only tip that i was complimented on was matching my presentation slides to the firm branding, the purple and I had the logo on each too, they really liked that!
The competencies were the usual standard so be prepared with examples from your experiences of team working etc, really try to show what you learned from them too.
I don't recall the legal scenario now so it couldn't have been too bad, I would just keep in mind that there is rarely a right or wrong answer, they are more interested in how you come to your conclusions and the justifications behind your thinking.
Good luck, you'll smash it i'm sure!

I got through to the final AC but no offer (for direct TC), excellent feedback then and there on the phone though which was really great. It was an annoying one as my feedback was that there was nothing to specifically improve on, they just weren't going with me. I was offered a support role on the back of it though but I didn't accept as it would have been a big step down for me career wise as I was already doing legal work. I accepted another offer in the end with a big national firm and started my TC in March this year.

Good luck for the interview if you haven't had it already, let me know how you get on!
