      Associate Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Freshfields

      Interview

      I was relocating from overseas so did an initial interview via Skype and a second round interview in the London office. Everyone was very polite and friendly throughout the process and I felt that they were interested in getting to know me as an individual and whether I would genuinely be a good fit in the team. I did not get an offer so I sought feedback and was told that I had all the skills they were looking for but the role had gone to someone with more UK practising experience.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They asked what was the most technically challenging work I had done and for an explanation of how I upskilled to meet challenges.
