Brodies is a highly competitive firm to join, so I was extremely nervous heading into the interview. However, the process was the most relaxed I have ever encountered. It was held with an Associate and the Head of Graduate Engagement, and they both made a great effort to put me at ease. Within five minutes, I had forgotten it was an interview, which is testament to how excellent the process was. It felt more like a casual conversation than a formal process, and by the end I was chatting quite happily about my favourite books, and the most bonkers problems I had ever encountered through work. The questions were very insightful ones, mostly about me as a person, my interests, why I chose to begin law, and how I would deal with certain situations. I wouldn't say it was an easy interview, but it was conducted in such a calm and relaxed atmosphere, it was easy to consider each question and give a full answer. The interview focused on getting to know me as an individual, rather than legal knowledge or grades. It was a great experience and made such a change from other interviews I had attended!
