Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Freshfields (Londra, Inghilterra)
Colloquio
First, a written exercise (working on e-mail communication with a fictious client, incl. drafting). Then almost immediately after a personal fit interview. Then a tour around the office with a trainee. Lastly, around 15 ( or 20 - not sure) minutes to read an article (in my case The Economist) and shortly after a discussion about the article, which not only tested the understanding of the article but also commercial awareness in the broader sense.
Overall, it has been a very enjoyable experience. People have been invested and seemed genuinely interested in me. The atmosphere was relaxed and comforting. They even provide feedback (in case an offer is not made) a couple of weeks later via phone if one wishes so. Truly professional.

Personal fit interview:
How did you deal with a difficult situation and managed to get through it?
Why commercial law and why Freshfields?
A time when you had convince someone that this was the right cause of action to take.

Colloquio
Standard. Not too complicated. Chill. Well organised. But the case study was tough. Have to have good market knowledge. But prepared well, can pass. Good people and nice interviewers in general.
