[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 4524, member: 1"] Hogan Lovells Vacation Scheme Interview 2018 [B]When was your Hogan Lovells interview? [/B] November 2018 [B] What was it for? [/B] Winter Vacation Scheme [B]Please describe the interview process at Hogan Lovells. [/B] There were two interviews during the day. The first interview was a partner interview, they began by introducing themselves, then asked me some questions about why I studied history. The questions then went on to my motivations for a career in law. Some of the questions included: [LIST] [*]Why law? [*]Why commercial law? [*]Why HL? [*]Who else have you applied to and why them? Are they similar to HL? [*]Where would I open a new office and why? [/LIST] In the last 10 minutes we briefly discussed the case study that I had been given earlier in the day. One of the questions was- what kind of practice areas would be involved to deal with the issues that may arise. My second interview was the situational interview and was with HR and a senior associate. They both explained that the purpose of the interview was to assess how I would react to everyday situations trainees may find themselves in.

[B]What advice would you give to future applicants for the Hogan Lovells interview?[/B] Make sure you have an understanding of HL's international strategy, as this came into particular use when I answered the question about a new office. Try and be flexible during the partner interview. Especially, if you do not know the answers to certain questions asked by partners, be honest to them and ask for further guidance. For the situational judgement questions make sure you explain why you chose your answer, and also tell them why you didn't choose the other answers. [/QUOTE]
