He interviewed me in the second round when I was going through, and he was probably one of my favourite interviewers. He's a nice guy, was good fun at the cocktail parties too. Asked a few probing but good questions I think, seemed to like direct, honest, articulate answers. From memory Corrs wasn't that big into the behavioural questions- it was mostly talking about your CV, why you want to be a lawyer, why Corrs etc. Corrs seem pretty proud of the ways in which they are different, so probably a decent idea to be well versed in what Corrs is all about. At the second round stage he was openly wooing and asking what other firms I was interviewing at and where I was thinking of going, but that's probably less relevant to 1st round.
I thought so, most I haven't heard from I am expecting rejections.
was expecting tresscox and thompson playford though coz i knew ppl who got interviews were called already.Will let you know how that goes!email said:
had my interviews marathon today. this is how it went.
yeah u had a different interviewer
I didn't get corrs but EVERYONE who got corrs was very impressed by the info evening, so a lot of people will be set on corrs. but good luck mate, hope u get through for that
I'm not to sure how they will take starting in Feb because unless I am wrong, the law ones usually end then. I think they are usually accomodating but it all depends on when they are starting and finishing and if they are flexible. No harm in asking! I am not too sure about bank interviews but if they are like the accounting firms, law interviews are generally just 1-2 rounds of interviews focusing on why you want to work their and the info in your c.v not really any testing or anything...Research the firms areas and know about what makes them different!I have been aiming at finance/accounting jobs because my interest tends to be towards the commerce side of things. So I only applied for about 5 firms. My law marks are definitely far from impressive so I applied for mid tiers mainly.
I have an interview coming up for Dibbs Barker. Is there anything I should know in particular to the firm or does anyone have any advice on acing the interview? It's my first law interview for a larger firm (I have only worked at boutique law firms before) and I know that it's very different from the banks/Big 4.
Also, are law firms flexible with the starting dates? If I am lucky enough to secure a clerkship with Dibbs Barker I won't be able to start until February because I have already accepted an offer with a bank.
Thanks in advance for any advice given!
