[QUOTE="Alice G, post: 78863, member: 1160"] [B]Please state the month/year you interviewed at the firm.[/B] February 2021 [B]Please specify what the interview was for.[/B] Summer Vacation Scheme [B]Please give an overview of the day with approximate timings.[/B] It just consisted of one 45 minute interview, with 15 mins beforehand to chat with a trainee one-on-one. The whole process only took one hour. [B]Please provide a summary of each assessment on the day with approximate timings.[/B] Chat with a trainee - not technically assessed (as far as I know) but you had 15 mins to chat with them and ask questions about the firm/their experiences. Interview - 45 mins - asked a whole load of questions, very interviewer led. [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] Chat with a trainee - Have some questions prepared, and try to ask questions that you can't find online but rather ones which only a trainee or someone at the firm could answer. Interview - This was one of the strangest interviews I'd experienced and I've interviewed at a fair few firms. The interview lacked structure; it seemed very much like the partners just asked whatever they wanted. However, it was heavily focused on me, so I recommend preparing everything about yourself and your experiences. With this, be prepared to demonstrate that you have a real understanding of why commercial law and why them. They pushed very hard on this. My other piece of advice would be try not to panic - if they push you on something and you feel backed into a corner it is just to see how you react under pressure. Stay calm and work through an answer logically. [B]Were you successful?[/B] Yes [/QUOTE]
