I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Simmons & Simmons (Londres, Inglaterra)
Interview
Video interview included basic competency based questions as well as industry-knowledge type questions. The whole interview lasts around 10 minutes, and you are given 60 seconds to prepare for your answer before the camera starts rolling. Video interviews are known to be very impersonal so it's important to always look at the camera and relax.
The interview involved self-introduction, competency-based interview questions, technical questions (a problem scenario). There was a mandarin test (reading aloud a paragraph and dictating a paragraph). There was an online drafting test.
