Our top interview tips
Your interviewer will expect you to ask a question or two so make sure you are prepared in advance and think of something relevant or topical.
U
Research Weil and the type of work we do. The interviewer is sure to ask you why you want to work for us, so have a good answer ready.
It is important that you are familiar with what you wrote on your application form as your interviewers will almost certainly ask you a question about it.
Who we are looking for
We are looking to recruit candidates from all universities and degree disciplines. Our academic requirements are AAB at A-Level or equivalent and a 2:1 degree (obtained or predicted). We take into account mitigating circumstances and use Rare’s contextualised recruitment system enabling us to measure an individual’s performance against the average grades of their school. We review all application forms holistically, which means if you fall slightly short of our academic requirements but demonstrate great potential, you will still be considered. You can apply for one of our vacation schemes if you are able to commence a training contract in 2023. If you are unable to commence a training contract in 2023, you should consider applying for a place on our
one-week fast track scheme. To apply for this scheme, candidates must be in their first year of a law degree or second year of a non-law degree. The interviews will focus on your motivations for pursuing a career in commercial law at Weil, so be prepared to talk about your interests, passions and most importantly, be yourself. We welcome applications from candidates with disabilities, and any candidates with a disability or a long-term health condition should feel able to be open about this at any point. We will work with you to establish the most suitable requirements, and make adjustments at each stage of your application.
We may well ask you about trends in the legal and business markets or significant deals that Weil is, or has recently been, involved in. Make sure you keep up to date with the latest news.
Try not to worry too much about your interview. It is an opportunity to find out if we are a good match for each other. So the best advice is just to be yourself.
