[QUOTE="George Maxwell, post: 90469, member: 17165"] Hi [USER=4216]@YB[/USER], So first of all, I want to congratulate you for getting to the AC stage. I remember getting an email from HSF confirming my invitation to their AC and I remember how excited I was. It is no small achievement. It goes without saying, but please do let me know if you would like any further guidance in the lead up to your interview (or beyond!). Secondly, thank you for your question. I had a really enjoyable interview with HSF. My interviewers were people that I genuinely liked and respected. I had three interviews: -For the competency interview, in preparation I drilled down into why I wanted to be a commercial lawyer, why I had applied to HSF and why I thought that I would suit the firm (and why I would be a capable trainee!). I also made sure that I knew my application back-to-front. -For the scenario and case study interviews, I made sure that I was comfortable using and discussing commercial terms. I also did a few mock interviews with friends and family. I made sure that I was asked, amongst other things, consultancy-style questions (such as market sizing questions if you are familiar with these?). The MBB firms (Mckinsey, BCG and Bain) each have useful resources on their websites which I would really advise taking a look at. Just as an example, BCG's is [URL='https://careers.bcg.com/case-prep']here[/URL]. The subject matter will be different from your interview, but these will give you an idea of what to expect. As a piece of general advice, show enthusiasm and interest. Your interviewers will want to know [I]how you think. [/I]Focus on relaying your thoughts in a clear, logical manner that is easy to follow and understand. Very happy to answer any follow ups you might have! [/QUOTE]
