      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at A&O Shearman (London, England) in Jan 2019

      Interview

      Completed the testing then got my first interview. The two people interviewing were really nice, a few competency based questions then general questions. Didn't get much of a reaction to see how it went. A few days later I got a second interview where I met the partner I would work for and by the time I got home, I was offered the job. Great company to work for!

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How do you cope under pressure?

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at A&O Shearman (London, England) in Oct 2022

      Interview

      The initial interview was via WebEx and I was made to feel extremely comfortable and at ease. It was professional with some challenging questions but also enjoyable. I was then invited for an interview in person, which again was challenging but positive experience where I was made to feel at ease.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at A&O Shearman (Amsterdam) in Jan 2020

      Interview

      De sollicitatieprocedure bestaat uit 3 rondes. In de eerste ronde sprak ik met de in huis recruiter en een medewerker die een gelijke functie bekleed. Ronde 2 is een persoonlijkheidstest en een capaciteiten test die je thuis op de computer kan maken. Ronde 3 is een gesprek met 2 partners waarmee ik samen ga werken. Tussen elk gesprek heb ik contact gehouden met de recruiter. Dat was heel fijn en gaf duidelijkheid.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      - Waarom ik kies voor deze functie. - Er werd ingegaan op de persoonlijkheidstest. - Werkervaringen en of ik ervaringen uit vorige banen kan meenemen. - We hebben besproken wat de functie inhoudt. Waarna we ook hebben besproken of dit daadwerkelijk bij mijn persoon past en is wat ik verwacht van de functie.
