I applied online. I interviewed at A&L Goodbody (Dublin, Dublin)
Interview
Structured interview process. A two partner panel. They begin by asking about you generally, then your work experience. They end with competency questions. The ‘vibe’ of the interview depends on the two partners. Mine were very formal.
Very positive experience, friendly interview panel, questions ranged from conversational to difficult, which was expected, and I was not asked anything I felt I was unprepared for or could not answer.
