[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 889, member: 1"] [B]When was your Osborne Clarke interview? [/B] January 2018 [B] What was it for? [/B] Vacation scheme [B]Please describe the interview process at Osborne Clarke.[/B] The assessment centre took place over a full day. It was a friendly and relaxed environment. There were approximately 25 people attending; I think there were several more days scheduled. The structure essentially was: group exercise, written exercise, WG test, and finally, an interview with a partner and legal director. The group exercise was mainly common sense. It asked you to look at the various aspects of an acquisition, playing the role of trainees doing due diligence. Each person was asked to take one aspect and prepare to talk about it in a certain amount of time. There was a considerable amount of information, but it was reasonably straightforward to pick out the salient details. The written exercise is just writing up the group task in a letter to the client. Good notes from the group exercise are vital. I particularly enjoyed the interview. Really fun conversation with people that were interested in you, rather than sticking to a HR script or competencies. They were more than happy to talk in depth about the work they did. [B]What advice would you give to future applicants for the Osborne Clarke interview?[/B] Really know what Osborne Clarke focus on. Genuine enthusiasm about tech, and knowing how it relates to the firm's practice areas, helped me a lot. Talk about the culture - which should be pretty easy because they are a really decent firm. In terms of the group exercise, volunteering to be in charge of time-keeping is worthwhile. Be polite and ask the quieter members of the group their opinion. Remember you're being assessed at every moment, particularly in the lunch with the trainees. [/QUOTE]
