[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 946, member: 1"] [B]When was your Slaughter and May interview? [/B] April 2018 [B] What was it for? [/B] [Not provided] [B]Please describe the interview process at Slaughter and May.[/B] An hour to read through some documents and to write an email with recommendations to the client; 15 minutes or so sitting in reception reading an article; an interview with two partners about competencies, motivations and discussing the article; an office tour by a trainee; an interview with someone from HR. [B]What advice would you give to future applicants for the Slaughter and May interview?[/B] The case study is pretty straightforward, but it's really important to manage your time well.
