[QUOTE="Nicole, post: 847, member: 16"] Baker Mckenzie Interview. From a current trainee at Baker Mckenzie (vacation scheme application): So the day consists of three exercises. The first is a group exercise which you will complete with three other candidates. Ironically my trains were delayed and I turned up soaking to this, five minutes late. However I had the belief that it couldn't get any worse which I think helped in my favour. As part of the task you had to recommend a few suggestions regarding this business expansion that was taking place. Across the table you had a few key bits of information about the business that would impact on the advice you give so its important to just consider these all in turn and then make suitable recommendations. I was able to stand out quite easily because this exercise is timed and at the end one of my group members decided to go above and beyond what was requested instead of just providing the information the suggestion you had for the business. I suggested we just finish slightly early instead of wasting our time so I think that went down well with Grad rec (who will supervise this task) so I think it best to not act like a sheep. You then have an interview with a senior associate - very basic competency so not much more to say on that. The partner interview - you are given a case study before hand which you need to examine and write down some key bits of information. they will have some classic signs of what they want to discuss - foreign jurisdiction elements, market shares/competition issues, employees they want to keep. They will have some classic signs of what they want to discuss - foreign jurisdiction elements, market shares/competition issues, employees they want to keep, your standard case study which you present your findings back to the partners and then the expand on your points e.g. why is this a particular issue for this client or what other departments might be able to help with this. Have to say was one of my easier interviews - got nearly all the case study points straight away so not hard to spot. [/QUOTE]
