    Kennedys Interview 2018

    When was your Kennedys interview?

    November 2018

    What was it for?


    Vacation scheme

    Please describe the interview process at Kennedys.

    Partner interview (1 hour), group assessment (45 minutes), written assessment (1 hour) - partner interview covered a broad range of topics and felt like effort was taken to get to know you. The other tasks were well managed.

    What advice would you give to future applicants for the Kennedys interview?

    Prepare for commercial awareness questions and understand the firms competitors. Also go over your letter writing skills and make sure you can read through a large amount of information quickly - ensure you’re vaguely aware of limitation laws for this task. For the group task get the balance right between listening and contributing.
