Question 1
Tell us about a time you had to respond to some feedback.
I applied online. I interviewed at Simmons & Simmons in Apr 2013
Interview
Applied through website, online test and phone interview, then assessment centre. Overall a pleasant experience - they're not out to with trick questions. If you have done your research about the firm and its past work, then you should be fine. Overall, one of the more straight-forward interviews: I think they're more out to determine fit.

Question 1
No difficult questions - just know why Simmons & Simmons, the sector-focus, what makes them different.
Interview was focused pretty much on my CV, my experiences and academic/extra-curricular activities I was involved in. Since I am a non-law student, why law in general?
