      Trainee Solicitor Interview

      4 Jul 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Durham, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at EMG Solicitors (Durham, England) in Jun 2024

      Interview

      Stage 1: Online application with cover letter Stage 2: Assessment Centre (AC) - this includes creating a motivational video beforehand followed by a full day's attendance at AC. AC included group tasks, written task and interview. Written task poorly organised (no space to write on the task sheet). Limited interaction with solicitors in attendance (who seemed to engage only with certain applicants). Crucially, received no feedback post-AC which was very disappointing considering the effort and preparation undertaken. Overall, not a great impression of the firm.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Q: Name one example of a good leader (and one example of a bad leader).

      Hello there, Thank you for your feedback – we are sorry that you were disappointed with our Trainee Solicitor recruitment process. In the written task, the box is kept small on purpose in order to prevent candidates from getting too focused on writing the reason for their choice. During our assessment centres all our colleagues including senior members of leadership take the time to speak with all candidates and we will work harder next year to ensure that all candidates feel equally engaged with. Feedback is always offered to all candidates and this can be verbal or through an email. If you would like to discuss the feedback from the assessment centre we would encourage you to contact us directly on graduates@emgsolicitors.com and we would be delighted to assist. Kind regards, EMG Solicitors
