[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 892, member: 1"] [B]When was your Ashurst interview? [/B] January 2018 [B] What was it for? [/B] Ahead with Ashurst (first year scheme) [B]Please describe the Ashurst interview process.[/B] There were 3 parts to the interview process: [LIST=1] [*]Written exercise - 1 hour to read several articles and formulate an argument where you had to present your 'findings' on whether or not a wind farm project should go ahead [*]Interview with head of HR [*]Tour of the office with trainee (not assessed) [/LIST] [B]What advice would you give to future applicants for the Ashurst interview?[/B] The HR interview is very straight forward with typical questions such as why law, why Ashurst. A lot of competency-based questions too such as what is your greatest strength - these types of questions can all be prepared for in advance which is good to know! Just be yourself. At the end of the interview there's an opportunity to ask questions and it's good to have one/two questions to show that you are interested in the firm (just don't ask anything that's already on their website). The hardest part of the interview process was the written exercise as there's not much time to give a detailed evaluation - top tip is to quickly skim through the materials have a clear conclusion and pick 3 or 4 points supporting your view, making sure to use evidence from the articles to back up your points. Right quickly and focus on being succinct. [/QUOTE]
