[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 28724, member: 1"] Sure, here's some practice questions I have from a variety of firms: [LIST] [*]If your colleague was slacking at work because of personal issues that they didn’t want to share with their boss, what would you do? [*]You’re a trainee, and you have been working really hard on a specific task. An associate says that you need to take a completely different approach and scrap what you’re doing right now. How do you react to this?’ [*]Imagine a situation where you completed a piece of work and want to get feedback, but the partner is very busy, how do you approach this? [*]You are staying late in the office tonight because you are leaving work early tomorrow to go away for the weekend. A partner invites you to a client dinner. How would you respond? [*]You notice a trainee solicitor outside your office is being rude to a secretary, what do you do? [*]You’re working on a project with a tight deadline but you find that you’re unable to complete your section because your coworkers and your supervisor are unavailable to answer a few key questions. How do you deal with the situation? [*]You are staying late in the office tonight because you are leaving work early tomorrow to go away for the weekend. A partner invites you to a client dinner. How would you respond? [*]A first seat trainee is being quite rude to support staff and this is beginning to rub off on you and other trainees. You hear support staff complaining about the "trainee's attitude". How would you respond? [*]You’ve been assigned a major project and are halfway through when you realise that you’ve made a mistake that requires you to go back to the beginning to fix it. How do you handle that while still trying to make your deadline? [*]You’re working on a project with other trainees. What would you do if the work of one of your trainees was not up to expectations? [*]What would you do if you made a mistake that no one else noticed? Would you address the error and risk slowing things down or ignore it to keep the project or task moving forward? [*]Suppose there is a dispute between two parties, and the other party mistakenly discloses some privileged information to you. That privileged information will benefit your party – is it okay to keep it and not say anything? [*]Yesterday you told your supervisor that you would be free today. Your supervisor lets you know that you should help him with an urgent project but you had taken on some work for an associate earlier on in the day. There are six other trainees who are available. What would you do? [*]What would you do if you have a flight to catch in the morning and work to get done tonight but a partner asks you to attend a client dinner? [*]A trainee is being rowdy at an event. How would you approach this? [*]You're a trainee. You're moved to another team by an associate. You were doing really well so didn't know why. You aren't familiar with the new deal team's work. What do you do? [/LIST] No need to worry about giving an 'innovative' answer. I find it helpful to just imagine I was in that situation and break down exactly what I'd do. [/QUOTE]
