[QUOTE="Nicole, post: 877, member: 16"] Another Osborne Clarke vacation scheme interviewee: [I][/I] [B]Osborne Clarke[/B] - around 25 people per intensive, all-day session. There were three sessions AFAIK. Group exercise was a due diligence task. Started with reading through, and then a monitored discussion about the scenario. Each person had to give a four minute presentation about a specific aspect of a proposed acquisition; I covered employment considerations. Tough to know what they want - I followed the usual method of being pleasant, enthusiastic and collegiate. I try to avoid drawing too much attention while demonstrating competence. I kind of think differentiating yourself is quite risky in group scenarios. The next element was to draft a letter to the client, summarising the issues you've identified and your responses. 45 mins was just enough. Followed up by WG test - which is standard. Then a partner interview. This I thought was brilliant. More of a chat. No competencies or HR guff. I was fortunate that I can talk with interest and conviction about how technology is shaping their core sectors. I had a senior RE partner who was impressed about my (passing) knowledge of prop-tech. Your AI write-up from last week was ridiculously helpful when I was asked about the future direction of the legal industry.
