      Positive Experience
      Difficult Interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at Potter Clarkson (Nottingham, England) in August 2016.

      Interview

      The first round interview started off with an informal chat with HR about my background and experience. I found it a really good experience - the person I spoke too seemed to be genuinely interested in me as a person and was keen to put me at ease.

      After the discussion with HR, I had an interview with three senior Patent Attorneys in the department which I was applying to. As part of this, they asked me various technical questions, some of which were quite open ended and others which were more closed. Like many people, becoming a patent attorney was a second career for me, and since I had been out of university for quite some time, I really struggled with some of the closed technical questions. Fortunately, the interviewers were all really nice about it, and didn't really seem to expect that I'd know all the answers.

      I also had to undertake a couple of aptitude tests, including correcting a letter, writing a description of an objection, and carrying out a verbal reasoning test.

      I was then invited to a second round interview, which felt much more like they were trying to assess what I was like as a person, and whether I would be a good fit for the team. As part of the interview, I had informal discussions with a number of senior members of staff, and had the opportunity to go out for lunch with a couple of trainees so that I could ask any questions about what it was like as a trainee.

      I was offered the job shortly after the second round interview. Overall, although the interviews were quite tough, everybody was extremely friendly and I found the experience very positive.
