Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jaysen" data-source="post: 1423" data-attributes="member: 1">...And another future trainee at White & Case:(White & Case f/t seem to be very helpful!)"1. Thoroughly re-read your application and CV! Ensure you can talk about everything on there. My interview was based solely off of my CV and they asked about things that I thought were minor. I had expected questions about my legal work experience and I wasn’t asked about it. Instead I was questioned more heavily asked about extra-curricular activities and voluntary experience. It seems to be always what you haven’t prepped that they ask about, so prep everything!2. Have an excellent understanding of White & Case and the work they do. Don’t be generic - avoid saying things that could apply to all law firms. Avoid characterising White & Case as “an American law firm’, even within the American firms there are a lot of differences. You want to convince them that you want to go there above everywhere else, so be firm specific.3. Make sure you demonstrate knowledge of the life of a trainee. When it comes to a firm like White & Case I think people tend to talk about wanting to work there because of the “high profile clients” “groundbreaking deals”, and it is definitely important to want that type of work; however, it is equally useful to show that you’re ready and willing to do the hard, often not exciting, late nights that trainees do.4. Have a few strong questions to ask at the end. They will always ask you if you have any questions, and it’s your last chance to make an impression so definitely don’t say no. If you’re given the names of your interviewers beforehand, research them. Make the questions personal, try and ask something you wouldn’t be able to find out on the website. People definitely have different experiences of the interview. Mine was very informal and friendly, some others had slightly more intimidating experiences, it really does depend on the interviewer you get."</blockquote>
