I had mine yesterday and it was pleasant enough, they basically just run through your application with you and ask questions based on what you wrote and then they ask one current affairs question (mine was just a general opinion on the election) and finish with the problem q.

Does anyone know what intakes/years Matheson are recruiting for?

Lawful_Lady

Has anyone interviewed with Matheson and knows what the first round is like? What kind of questions do they ask?

Also, what are current affairs topics should I prep before the interview? What questions are other firms asking?

DE second round interview offers are out by phone.

Anybody know what the structure of the second DE interview is?

rightytighty

Is it possible Fry's get back today or is it definitely tomorrow?

nailforhammer

Just letting people know if you didn't get a call back from DE this morning, don't lose hope just yet. They're still making calls they just rang me less than an hour ago.

Was just going to ask the same I haven’t heard anything but was told it would be today.

was told today but nothing yet

Do DE just not call you if you don't get a second round offer? I assume I've been rejected as the second round offers were out during the week but it seems a bit unfair they don't let you know regardless.

This year is particuarly bad for PFO’s for either interviews or not getting one in the first place. Other years they seemed to come through at the same time roughly.

No. Assuming it’ll be PFO or Monday we might here something positive. Bit mean to make you wait out the weekend

Agreed! Especially as they specifically said Friday - trying not to lose hope if no one has had an offer..?

Got mine too! Matheson today went dreadfully for me and was my last one so think that’s the end of it for this year for me

Sorry to hear that! Honestly just doesn’t seem to matter how well you’ve done or how hard you try. 🀷ðŸ¼*♀️

Agreed! What is the typical process...do people just try again next year, and if so, is there any point applying for firms who interviewed and rejected you last year? Or do they try smaller firms? Or get some FE1s?

I'm not sure what I'll do.. was thinking of going to a recruiter perhaps. Or trying to get a job as a legal exec for more relevant experience, even though I've lots of legal experience, just not in law firms .. it's hard to know!

I’ve done a masters and FE1s, I’m planning to finish the FE1s and try and get out of my current job to get something more law based as even though my current job related to being a trainee they did not seem impressed. From experience I’ve had interviews with firms two years after first being interviewed by them, didn’t make any difference I still got rejected but you can of course apply again to the same ones!

My goodness it’s a tough old slog!

Does anyone know what firms ask your references? I just warned mine that they might be contacted soon and they are wondering what to prepare.

Lawful_Lady

When do Matheson get back to people about 2nd round?

Any tips on what the interview was like?

It was with the MP and another partner and they were very nice. Tbh it was like the the first interview, skills questions and just general questions about university, career choice etc. No current affairs questions at all, so was a bit surprised by that. They just really let you speak and ask if you have any questions at the end. About 25/30 minutes long.

Were you hoping to have a place for 2019 or 2020? My interview is tomorrow good to know there are curve balls!

Hayes Interview offers are out. Anyone have previous experience with them? Anyone heard back from Beauchamps or AMOSS?

Pretty flexible tbh! Best of luck with it!

Lawful_Lady

Anyone have experience with Matheson second round?

It’s composed of one interview and then another interview which is a problem based exercise.

Any advice welcome.

Yet to hear back from AMOSS or Beauchamps. Did you interview with Dechert? If so, how did it go?

Toga Stroll

Anyone do the DWF phone interview and hear anything back?

No which is a bit of a joke considering it was one of the first deadlines.

I remember some of my friends applied to their internship programme and they didn't respond to people if they were unsuccessful. I am wondering if they are doing the same here since it has been such a long time?

Really not acceptable though. Especially since hey make you do exercises to complete the application process. One of the girls I know contacted them and they said they would be back to people and still noting. Don’t think I’d be stressing over interviewing their anyways
