Hi anyone who has done a Mayer Brown interview: I booked my slot (for late today) and received a confirmation email of that but have had nothing since from Graduate Recruitment. Am I correct to assume that it's a phone interview and they will call me at the slot, or is there anything else I need to do? Did anyone get anything different from them?
Hey, I just did my phone interview and they just give you a call at the time you requested for the interview. You won’t have to do anything else. Good luck!
They were just typical strengths based questions - e.g how you would approach situations/scenarios etc. It went by very quickly so you should all be fine

Hi all!
Had my phone interview earlier today.
Here's some insight:
Overall, it's an interview that's quite difficult to gauge whether you've done well on it or not. I don't feel like I bombed it but I don't feel like I smashed it, if ygm?
They said that they'll get back to interviewees "as soon as possible".
Hope this helps and good luck!
Had my phone interview earlier today.
Here's some insight:
- No prep required - I wasn't asked any competency questions (name a time when you X) nor motivational questions (why Mayer Brown).
- They genuinely just want to know your honest answer to strength-based scenarios/questions. It speaks to you more as a person and your experiences from ECs, PoRs, work experience.
- You're actually marked down if you seem like you've over-rehearsed so there's a fine line between providing evidence and providing STAR level evidence (with the latter being something you shouldn't do).
- It's a very relaxed / chilled out interview. Feels like you're having a chat rather than you're in an interview (as cliche as that is, this actually is very much that).

I felt exactly the same after my interview - couldn’t quite tell if I aced it or did badly haha. In hindsight, I wish I expanded further on some of the examples I provided but was worried I’d waffle and not answer the question properly. Did you bring in past examples of ECs and work experience into your answers or not really?
