J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Slaughter and May (Londres, Angleterre) en mars 2024
Entretien
Online interview with a senior and a junior associate. Mostly CV-focused, asked about career options/ grades/ motivations. The interview was designed to ask some difficult questions and they expected candidate to defend own opinions well. It ended with a case study sent 15 minutes prior to the interview.

Entretien
I had a written exercise consisting of drafting an email based on an article. I then had an interview with a partner and associate. It was pretty brutal, with questions designed to really catch you out. The second part of my interview was on a news article I had prepped for.

Question 1
Why did you get rejected from Oxbridge, and would you still have applied in hindsight?

Entretien
The questions really testsed your ability to argue your point without sounding pretentious. We also had to explain every low grade and take accountability for our actions. Just make sure to take pauses and not rush your answer. The interview is hard to prepare for as it tests your ability to speak about any given topic rather than rehearsed answers
