[QUOTE="LuLa, post: 16419, member: 3952"] Hi! So to be honest you wouldn't be needing that information anyways. My interview was for a summer scheme in February 2018 (so almost two years ago), but I gather they haven't changed the process. It is a very commercial based interview. My interview lasted about half an hour and the partners started asking their questions based off what I wrote in my application. There was a question which asked "talk about a news story that has recently interested you and explain why it has interested you". I remember I spoke about Amazon and how there were calls from government and regulators to essentially "regulate it" so as to stop its monopoly. then i explained how I thought this was quite interesting considering that usually anticompetitive behavior by organizations is behavior that ultimately goes to harm the consumer (whereas Amazon provides the best service at the best price etc...) So basically the partners went off that and I remember they asked me follow up questions such as "would you say e-books and books are two different markets"... etc They also asked me standard questions like "where else have you applied", do you have any other offers.. etc. Essentially I think Sidley is one of the few interviews around which does not follow a set structure and its basically up to the partners what they ask you (and that is a positive imo). So I guess brush up on what has been going on/anything you mentioned in your application and what sort of questions could be asked on the back of that. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
