Beyond Training Contract Interview Questions
Anticipating the sort of training contract interview questions you may be asked should only be one part of your interview preparation. How you answer is as at least as important as what you answer. Do you know what messages your body language is sending out? Bearing in mind your body language accounts for at least 55% of your communication you need to know.
Have you crafted the key messages you need to deliver in interview, irrespective of the questions you are asked?
Are you feeling and conveying confidence in interview?
We help you with all of these matters and much more.
As securing a training contract becomes more competitive, the recruitment process becomes more sophisticated and challenging. You need to give yourself every edge to ensure your time and financial investment do not go to waste.
We are very experienced lawyers and experts in the interview process, having recruited and coached lawyers including Seniors Partners, Silks, Heads of Chambers, Judges and non lawyers over many years. We now offer the same interview coaching to training contract applicants.
Our 2 hour intensive training contract interview coaching session will prepare you for the toughest interview and includes
- Structured discussion about your past experience and forthcoming interviews.
- Full mock interview and de-brief (this will last about an hour and a half to two hours and you will receive a DVD of your interview). This mock interview is extremely challenging and uses questions typically asked by solicitor firms during training contract interviews.
- Feedback on both the content of your answers and your delivery, including body language and communication style
Our normal fee is discounted by 45% for training contract applicants and costs £225 + VAT for a 2 hour session.
