[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 24791, member: 1"] [LEFT][COLOR=rgb(30, 35, 54)] Sorry for the delay! King & Spalding is one of the firms we don't have much information on, so I can only speak generally: Lunch: Do thorough research and prepare informed questions to ask the partners/associates. Remember the setting though, if it's an informal lunch - you can adapt the questions to the situation. Written exercise: Make sure you have the right form (letter/memo/email etc.), make sure your answer is 100% focused on what the task is asking and write clearly. For these exercises, it's often not a case of writing everything you know about a subject, but taking the time to write a clearly structured and well thought out response to the question. Negotiation exercise: This is harder for me to provide advice on as they vary so much. You want to show that you can speak up, have confidence in your opinions and argue your case, but you also do want to stay composed and show a willingness to be open minded (in my experience, we were often encouraged to come to an agreement in these exercises; whereas in a real negotiation you might be far more difficult/walk away). Presentation: Personally I wouldn't start by thinking what is interesting to the firm - I'd think about what is interesting to you (provided you can still find a clear link to the firm). This is going to make you far better able to handle follow up questions and talk about the topic with genuine interest.[/COLOR][/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
