Hogan Lovells Job Simulation Assessment

[jj238]

Hi all,

I just progressed to the second stage of Hogan Lovells' Vacation Scheme application. The second stage is a job simulation assessment. It's my first time doing a job simulation assessment. I believe it consists of at least one trainee task (written) and at least a couple of Hirevue-style video interview questions.

If anyone is familiar with a job simulation assessment (doesn't have to be for Hogan Lovells), I would greatly appreciate any tips or insight into what the assessment consists of.

Thank you!

Hi, congratulations on being progressed!

I did Macfarlanes’ simulation and I can tell you that these can be tough. There are some SJT questions as well as some WG but the main part will come down to the video interview. This consists of both commercial awareness style questions and motivation.

I cannot say for certain what Hogan Lovells will ask, but I can imagine, from similar experience that it will be similar to this. One of my friends did Freshfields’ one as well as Macfarlanes and they all seem similar. The slight difference is that some firms may ask STAR questions (tell me about a time…)

Hope this helps!

Hi,

Thank you so much, this really helps! The SJT and WG part of the assessment was contained within the first stage of the assessment. But I believe that the written questions will be sort of Forage-style. The video responses have me stressing. Do you know if they're more behavioural or technical? I assume more behavioural, like you said, STAR-related.

In terms of commercial awareness-related questions, do you know if you could give me an example question in this area?

Thanks again!
