Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Come domanda tecnica è stato chiesto il contratto preliminare.
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at DLA Piper (Leeds, England) in Jul 2021
Interview
Online application with CV and Cover Letter.
Next stage if shortlisted is online tests (they say psychometric but I wouldn't classify them as such as there was no mathematic element involved) - these consisted of timed proof-reading exercises (spotting grammatical errors, cross-referencing mistakes in a contract etc) and a Watson Glaser type test with verbal reasoning.
Then get shortlisted for an interview - this was held virtually (was in 2021) and was mainly competency based questions, some strength based questions, and a lot about your own experiences which you wrote about in your CV / Cover Letter - they just want you to expand on these and give examples. Quite informal at times, was very friendly and felt like a chat!
