Hey Guest, do you have a question for graduate recruitment? Gemma Baker from Willkie is live to answer your questions!
I feel like every person that has had it so far the general timings are around 8-10 mins so I wouldn’t worry!! I know people that got through with that too! Good luck on the next steps!
I wouldn’t worry! Majority seem to be completing it under that time anyway so 🤞🤞 - if you don’t mind what sort of questions threw you off? Mines in a few days and although I feel confident I’m nervous on any out the blue questions and how I can tie in my commercial awareness!
Don't worry at all! I think I definitely slipped up a bit too and I think it's normal to feel that way after an interview, but you never know what they were thinking! It's good experience regardless
Mine was also around 8 minutes and I dont feel like I could have taken any longer without my answers sounding really dragged on! I think for me it wasn't the questions exactly which threw me off, it was more that I perform better in more conversational interviews and this one was much more structured!
Hi! I was just wondering, which office location/sector did you apply to? I was told end of March so I was just wondering if perhaps they're going to get back to different offices/sectors at different times
I was also told end of March- I was Business track.Hi! I was just wondering, which office location/sector did you apply to? I was told end of March so I was just wondering if perhaps they're going to get back to different offices/sectors at different times
That is true I suppose, thank you! I have another interview next week so hoping that experiencing this interview first will help.Don't worry at all!

Hey! From what I’ve read it’s basically more about the firm and route (so presuming typical why HD, commercial questions and role of the lawyer/in that sector). There’s no strength/competency based questions. When is yours if you don’t mind me asking I can add to thread once I’ve done mine if it’s after it!
Hey! If you don't mind that would be really helpful! I have an interview on Thursday.Hey!

Thanks! Sounds really similar to last year then which is a relief. Mine is on Thursday, best of luck with yours 😊Hey!

Hi! Thanks for the information.. can I ask whether they had any question specific to the pathway chosen, i.e. health?
Hey - thanks for this. Could you clarify on commercial awareness if you feel comfortable? I.e. was it specific to your sector? Or general Qs on why commercial law?Thankyou! I probably shouldn't disclose the specific questions, but for me there wasn't much focus on situational/competency based questions and it was more to do with knowledge of the firm/commercial awareness. I'm not sure if this will differ by office location/sector though, as it was the associates asking me the questions. For reference, my interview was for Health in the london office
Definitely be prepared to talk about your sector specifically! Some people I've spoken to have had different questions relevant to their sector than me, so I think the kind of question you will get will depend on your interviewer! My advice would be to really research your sector and be prepared to talk about it in a range of contexts
Sorry I seem to have missed this! Personally no I wasn't asked any but I prepared some just incase since the questions seem to differ slightly depending on your interviewer
