[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 26939, member: 1"] [B]Please state the month/year you interviewed at the firm.[/B] January 2020 [B]Please specify what the interview was for.[/B] Spring Vacation Scheme 2020 [B]Please give an overview of the day with approximate timings.[/B] Half day Assessment Centre with 6 candidates in total. [B]Please provide a summary of each assessment on the day with approximate timings.[/B] A drafting exercise - We were each given a laptop which had a number of emails in the inbox. These emails referred to the [redacted] initiatives at the firm. The task required us to draft an email providing ideas and activities for a [redacted] initiative for underrepresented students from local schools in order to improve their access to the legal profession. This is a great opportunity to get creative and think outside of the box. A ‘team meeting’ (group exercise) - Using the brief from the drafting exercise, the group went into a discussion of how we would get Partners from the firm to get involved in the [redacted] initiative, whilst being mindful of cost and logistics and how we would keep in contact with the students and use their experiences to monitor and promote the event going forward. Question and answer session with trainees - Informal question and answer session. 'Careers discussion' - This was essentially a HR interview which consisted of 4 competency based questions based around the firm's core values. I was then given the opportunity to ask any questions about the Vacation Scheme. [B]Please list any interview questions you were asked.[/B] When have you analysed large amounts of information and provided recommendations? [B]What is your best advice for each aspect of the assessment on the day? Please break this down for each assessment. This can include advice for preparation, as well as tips for the day.[/B] - During the team exercise address all the issues of the brief, bring in new ideas, question other people's ideas and stay engaged with the group. - Generally on the day make friends with the other candidates as there are only a few people. - Your conversations are heard by GR throughout the day so remain professional and polite. [B]Were you successful?[/B] No [/QUOTE]
