LInklaters Open Day
Posted 16 March 2011 - 11:25am by melissa_j
Hi guys,
I attended an open day at Linklaters
They told me that the interview was relatively straight forward.. But the lunch was marked.. I found this very interesting because as we were eating lunch, the supervisors were watching us to see how we could talk with clients. it just shows to be careful and pay close attention to detail in all respects! The application process doesn't just stop on paper.
Linklaters VS Interview
Posted 8 January 2009 - 3:46pm by Klock
I have a VS interview with Linklaters next Tuesday. I would really appreciate any advice, hints, tips and/or experiences that anyone here has had of interviews with Linklaters. I’ve researched all practice areas, commercial issues, drafted responses to obvious Q’s (such as why law), etc...
I am really worried as to what questions they will ask.
Thank you in advance for you help.
