Hard, harsh, medical, tension, frustrating, why is this stupid website making me do this? This is a waste of time man, just lemme have my data man. There is sometimes the option to complete both rounds of interviews in the same day, if your first interview is in the morning. Otherwise the final assessment will take place over two days.
Commercial Awareness Presentation
You’ll receive the topic of your presentation before your final interview date in order to prepare. The presentation will last roughly five minutes followed by ten minutes of questioning.
Competency Interview
This interview is with a partner in the firm. This interview differs greatly from the first interview, and is much more personable. There are no set questions. The interview will be competency based and will focus on career motivation and commercial awareness.
Stay calm. If the interviewer is putting you under pressure, it is likely just to see how you respond.
Typically by the partner interview stage, there are no competency questions.That said, make sure you go prepared with some general examples to back up your answers in case any random competency questions do come up.
