Mayer Brown Tests

[SLKEJRWOI97]

I felt exactly the same after my interview - couldn’t quite tell if I aced it or did badly haha. In hindsight, I wish I expanded further on some of the examples I provided but was worried I’d waffle and not answer the question properly. Did you bring in past examples of ECs and work experience into your answers or not really?

It's difficult, right?!

So I mentioned something like "When I worked as an X at X, I did this..." but it was literally dropping my job title, the employer and what I did that's relevant to the question. It wasn't anything elaborate like a STAR thing. I just didn't feel the vibe that I needed to discuss thing super in-depth as I would in an interview at an AC for example.

I wouldn't overthink it though. Ultimately, I gauged that they just want to know you as a person so even if you hadn't mentioned much or anything about your past work experience/PoRs/ECs, I don't think it'd have been too detrimental.

Good luck!

Yeah that’s very true - I wish I elaborated a bit further for some of the q’s but I guess there’s really no point overthinking now! Hopefully it all works out and best of luck

Hi all!

Just completed my interview, their graduate recruitment people are lovely and just make me want to work there even more! Would definitely recommend others don't waste lots of time preparing for it, I will not be getting back all those hours D). Not saying I did well at all, just that I don't think any of my preparation actually helped! Would just say be relaxed, communicate well and do your best to be human.

BTW they said I should hear back around mid Jan, if that's helpful.

Hi everyone. I was wondering how long does it generally take to receive the report--is it really up to 14 days as stipulated? Thank you

I did the tests on the 27th and received my report about an hour ago!

Thank you to everyone who gave an insight into the telephone interviews!

Just to clarify, were these for the spring or summer scheme?

Hi! Had my interview today and I completely agree with the previous comments. You can’t really prep for them but I would just have a think about your strengths, try and relax and communicate well

nope! they said we will know by next week or the week after at the very latest for ACs in February.
