Wilkins Kennedy Traineeship Interview Questions

Wilkins Kennedy Interview Process

Wilkins Kennedy holds its assessment days in February/March each year and usually makes a decision on candidates by the end of March.

The application and interview process at Wilkins Kennedy is as follows:

• Application
• Online questionnaire
• Assessment day
• Final stage interview

Application

Candidates should download the Wilkins Kennedy application form from the firm's website. This should then be completed either by hand or on a computer and returned to the firm, either by post or by email.

All applications are reviewed by the firm's HR Director. Only successful candidates will be sent correspondance from the firm.

Online Questionnaire

All short listed candidates are required to complete an online “forced choice” questionnaire. This is not supposed to be a test and the firm suggests that there are no right or wrong answers.

This test takes about 10 minutes to complete.

Assessment Day

Short listed candidates are invited to an Assessment Day, which is held at the firm's London office.

The assessment day consists of:

• Numerical and verbal reasoning psychometric tests
• Partner interview
• Group exercise
• Lunch (with partners and current trainees)

Partner interview

Group exercise

Following the assessment day, successful candidates will either be invited to a final stage interview or alternatively offered a traineeship.

Final stage interview

The final stage interview consists of a one to one interview with a Wilkins Kennedy partner.
