    Hi everyone, just received invitation for NRF interview!!

    Has anyone had any experience with the assessment centre process?

    Hi there! Congrats for getting through!
    Did you apply for a vacation scheme or straight TC? I applied for the Spring Vacation Scheme and haven't heard back yet.

    Hiya, I applied for the Training Contract before the New Year so I'm sure you'll hear back soon :)

    Thank you! When is your NRF interview? Just wondering how much notice they give you so that I'm mentally prepared. I had two days' notice for the AC I had with Simmons for their winter vac scheme last year...

    For those who have completed White and Case video interview, could you please share what types of questions came up? I would be grateful :)

    Hi! I had one over the summer for a direct TC, so I'm not sure it will be the exact same but on top of my head it was essentially:
    1) "why White&Case",
    2) "why are you a good fit for the firm" (or something along those lines, also maybe one of those two may have been a practice question actually)
    3) name/explain a challenge the legal industry is currently faced with
    4) a time you had to show determination/resilience (don't remember exactly which of the two adjectives it was sorry)
    I think either 1) or 2) was the practice question actually cause I remember there being only 3 real ones!

    hope it helps :)
