I applied online. I interviewed at Stephens Scown (Truro, England) in Jan 2024
Interview
It was a really chilled out interview process, nothing major to worry about or prepare for, they really look for your motivation to stay down in Cornwall more than anything and how well you would fit in with the team.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about a time which you made a mistake and how did you rectify it.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Stephens Scown (Exeter, England) in Jan 2020
Interview
Interview for an IP Paralegal role.
Very relaxed and informal overall. Interviewed by the Partner of IP/ IT and an Associate.
Questions mostly focused around my CV e.g. why did you choose to study X?, talk us through Y, etc.
No competency or skills type of questions were asked, only a random "so why do you want to work for Stephens Scown?" was thrown in there for good measure.
