Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a recent change which will have a significant effect on the legal industry?
Video Interview, recorded and super easy to navigate. Took roughly an hour and was guided through the whole process. Had situational questions that took 3 parts of the VI and then followed by a recorded interview with around 5 questions.
There are 3 parts of the interview, the first is an associate interview where there were 2 associates asking questions. Then there's a Mandarin test where we need to read out a passage and type out a transcript of a news report. Lastly, there was a written test where we needed to write a letter on behalf of someone else in both English and Chinese.
