Year 12 – Herbert Smith Freehills – Scholarship Scheme Interview Workshop

19 Apr Year 12 – Herbert Smith Freehills – Scholarship Scheme Interview Workshop

A group of Year 12 students went up to Herbert Smith Freehills LLP during their Easter break to attend an interview workshop run by the law firm’s Recruitment & Human Resources Department.

Viv & Gabi gave the students some valuable insights into how they look at applications and what makes one stand out from the rest. They also went through the best way to ensure your application is put on the “invite” pile.

During the presentation they went through the important elements to approaching interviews and the different ways a company can conduct an interview. The students had the opportunity to hear some of the types of questions they may get asked and the type of responses that would be expected of them.

The students attending are all part of the cohort who are hoping to be successful in gaining one of the Networked Scholarship Scheme places available via Herbert Smith Freehills.

During the next couple of weeks each will have an in-person interview and hopefully progress to the next stage which is likely to be an assessment centre style event. If ultimately successful, the students will join our impressive list of JRCS students on the programme.

Each student will get a mock interview in the lead up to their one with HSF.

All the students have done themselves, and me, proud with the way they have conducted themselves in a highly professional environment on the two occasions we have been there. Each is wished good luck as they go for their interview.
