Allen & Overy app - 2018/19
The main thing I’d flag up - if you’re going to tailor to A&O in that way (or in other app forms where the question doesn’t ask for it), try to make the link natural and properly tailored to the firm. It doesn’t like great if you have a commercial issue and say something like: ‘and this applies...- Jaysen

Allen & Overy app - 2018/19
No worries - it's a bit of a tricky one now as there's no obvious place to link to A&O in the application form.- Jaysen

Government Legal Department Trainee Scheme AC
And another very kind future trainee: "It will be divided into two parts; a written exercise and an interview. You will need to do less preparation for the written exercise as it designed to test your ability to analyse the materials given to you during the assessment rather than any...- Jaysen

Government Legal Department Trainee Scheme AC
Managed to find a future trainee at the GLD, he passed on this advice: 'The assessment centre when I did it (2018) was comprised of two parts. The written exercise had various documents (fake newspaper cuttings, a fake draft bill) and some questions posed by a minister. The main skills tested...- Jaysen

Accutrainee Interview
Here you go: “In terms of the assessment day, they usually start with the presentation and, since that's the prepared piece, if you can nail that it will make a really good first impression. From memory it's the interview next. This will either be with just Susan Cooper or with Susan and...- Jaysen

Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020
Depends on the question (e.g. a competency answer will likely last longer than discussing your biggest weakness), as well as how quickly you speak. Most answers will probably be between 30 and 2 minutes. If it's less, that's OK as long as you check you're developing your answers properly. If...- Jaysen

Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020
I think that's one of the best ways to prepare. Many candidates really know their stuff on paper, but it can be a struggle to articulate that aloud and in the pressure of an interview. PS: The questions in that guide lean on the harder side, but in the real thing, you should get a combination...- Jaysen
