Herbert Smith Freehills Competency Question

[Jaysen]

Hey everyone,

The application review team is a little stumped by the phrasing of a HSF application question, so we wanted to see if anyone has spoken to graduate recruitment/gained an insight from their open day and could share any light on this.

The question on the HSF form: 'Tell us about a project that you have recently worked on or a challenge you have faced as part of a team (Up to 300 words)'

Do we take this to mean either:

1a. A project you have recently worked on; or
1b. A challenge you have faced as part of a team

Or

2a. A project that you have recently worked on as part of a team; or
2b. A challenge you have faced as part of a team

The issue here is if the candidate focuses on 1a, they would be missing the competency if it intended to be 2a (about teamwork).

Hey Jaysen,

Just wanted to confirm whether that's the HSF question? From my understanding, the 3 questions of HSF are:


Introduce us to a topic you know about and explain why it interests you (300 words)


Explain why you’re interested in pursuing a career at Herbert Smith Freehills (300 words)


What skills, qualities and attributes would you bring to the role? (300 words)
