Telephone interview for Browne Jacobson (Manchester office)!! Please if anyone can give any insight or advice, I’d really appreciate it! I’ve never done a TI before eeeek

So it was:

"why law & why Browne jacobson" (as one question)
several competency questions (so prepare a bank of stories about the time you overcame a challenge or whatever)
a commercial awareness question

There's not really a big difference to other types of interview except since you're over the phone you can read your notes more easily than on Teams, or not at all in-person.

This one felt like a video...

Hey everyone,

For those of you with upcoming Spring or Summer vacation schemes, I have created this thread.

It's a dedicated thread if you have any questions or just want to share how you are preparing. Abbie and I will be around to help with any questions.

Thanks!

Question about Middle East opportunities (ironic given the current situation): When firms say that Arabic fluency is preferred, is that them basically saying that they really only take Arabic-speaking trainees with no exceptions? I have substantial ties to the region, but I cannot speak a word of Arabic.

Has anyone done the Bevan Brittan VI yet? Would love to know how much time we get to prepare + speak
