ASSESSMENT CENTRE ADVICE? what should I EXPECT?
And there's my Olswang PFO - although quite a nicely put PFO so don't seem to mind as much!! Did anyone else think that?

Hey, I'm at C&B next week as well, any idea what to expect? Best of luck for your interviews!


Not too sure - suspect there may be an off-the-wall question or two thrown in so bracing myself! Good luck to you too :smile:

Walker morris assessment centre!!
Anyone else?


Hey I have this too, apparently it is a business exercise then an interview. I spoke to someone who did it last year and they had to pitch a 'boris bike' style scheme in Leeds to a bank.

Google has lots of good advice - i found the gateway's stuff pretty useful. But really you need to research the firm and stuff.

If you don't know what's happening at your assessment centre email/call the grad recruitment and they should say what's happening. Like - a competency interview followed by a group exercise or whatever.

I had a PFO too - thought the PFO was quite a nice one though - I've had some that have literally said "unfortunately you have been unsuccessful, regards X"

Hi, just wondering how long it took you to hear back from King & Wood Mallesons after your interview? Thanks!

Incredibly quickly. Had a voicemail within an hour of leaving their office.

Has anyone heard from Boodle Hatfield/Forsters yet?


I haven't heard back from Forsters yet. Someone earlier in the thread heard back a few days ago. Good luck!

Notified today of Withers interview - if it helps anyone, I applied pretty close to the deadline.

Waiting to hear back having done White & Case video interview, and have Covington & Burling interview next week. PFO from Sidley Austin.


Hey, in relation to the White & Case video interview can I ask what questions/ type of questions were asked? Any information would be much appreciated! :smile:

Also, has anyone heard back from Wragge or Mayer Brown?
