Mock Interviews and Assessment Centre Preparation

Ongoing

Virtual

We are delighted to offer 1-2-1 mock interviews to AS members who are strictly invited to interviews/assessment centres with an AS partner firm (please see list below).

Each mock interview is up to 30 minutes and takes place via phone call (or WhatsApp for anyone not currently in the UK) with a member of AS’ expert coaching team, consisting of former lawyers, graduate recruitment managers and certified coaches.

You must have secured a work experience or Vacation Scheme interview or Training Contract interview to book a session.

You may book a maximum of two mock interview sessions in any quarter (i.e. every three months).

If you are unable to secure a slot before your interview or assessment centre, please email aspire@aspiringsolicitors.co.uk stating the name of the firm you are interviewing with and the date of your interview and we will attempt to find you an alternative mock interview slot.

Eligibility

Mock interviews are only available for members (from at least one of our underrepresented groups listed below) who have secured a Training Contract or Vacation Scheme interview with one of our Partner law firms.

I just wanted to say a massive thank you for all the support you provided me. I think it really helped prepare myself for the Assessment Centre, and to let myself shine in the way I've always wanted to do in an interview, but never managed due to nerves.

Thank you for taking the time to support me with my interview preparation for Clyde & Co, it seriously made all the difference in the world for my confidence. I was able to navigate myself through challenging scenarios and was able to handle the unexpected questions so much better than I have ever done in any of my previous interviews, so thank you!
