[QUOTE="OH, post: 41043, member: 1150"] Hi, I interviewed unsuccessfully for SH a few weeks ago. I had my feedback call today so can share what I wrote for another member last week and also their criteria they shared today. [B]What I DM'd to another a while back:[/B] Interviewed for the SH Winter Placement last Tuesday, so can offer a few tips. It's over Zoom through their conferencing system and I had two people (both HR) doing it. Generally it was very casual and focussed on person questions (why law, why your uni, favourite modules, least favourite, tell us about deals of ours you found interesting) with follow-up questions normally 'explain that in simple terms so anyone could understand'. I'd just be yourself as, mine anyway, was very built around the CV. There were also lots of competency, like teamwork example and stressful situation. In relation to teamwork they then followed up asking what the boundary between teamwork and leadership is for me Following feedback call today they are marking you on four skills: Intellect (how clearly you explain things throughout and simplify things throughout so anyone can understand), responsibility (how you've led, innovation and teamwork examples), inter-personal (how examples are phrased and general rapport), commercial awareness and how you identified legal issues in general discussion/your answers, they stressed the need for PESTLE and long v short term issues. I fell down on inter-personal for 'speaking too quickly' and assuming knowledge, so literally take nothing for granted; for example in my case I was asked to explain a legal concept and used that morning's headline news to do so but was criticised for not using more simple examples that anyone would know. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
