[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 962, member: 1"] [B]When was your Stephenson Harwood interview? [/B] August 2017 [B] What was it for? [/B] Training contract [B]Please describe the interview process at Stephenson Harwood.[/B] The assessment day started with a presentation, Partner interview, written test, commercial awareness interview, office tour and lunch. You are given the topic of your presentation in advance and will have a week to prepare for it prior to the assessment day. The Partner will ask many questions on your presentation, followed directly by a Partner interview on competencies and interests. I advice you to spend time on understanding how the topic chosen in the presentation affects the firm. The written exercise is 1 hour 30 minutes long. It requires you to write a report based on the substantial amount of information provided. Your report then forms the basis for the next interview with a Partner where you will be asked on your rationale behind the advice you gave in the written exercise and a general discussion on the information. [B]What advice would you give to future applicants for the Stephenson Harwood interview?[/B] Research the firm and make sure that you understand the firm, its culture and the clients that it works for. You will be asked how the firm is different from other firms and how it better can sell itself to its clients. To answer this in an outstanding way, I would suggest that you read the services that the firm provides and learn about the firm culture. Also, you should use the 7 days that you are given to work on your presentation in a clever way. Be creative and think outside of the box. Be concrete and talk clearly. Think carefully about how the topic that you have been given affects Stephenson Harwood. To make your written exercise smooth, make sure that you understand the firm's services quite well. This will allow you to give a more realistic advice. [/QUOTE]
