I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at DLA Piper (Birmingham, England) in Oct 2022
Interview
Easygoing interview. The interviewer was very knowledgable but friendly, which made me feel comfortable. It felt more like a conversation than an interview. Very fast process - received an invitation to interview email on Friday for Monday, had the interview on Monday, and received an offer a few hours after the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself. Do you have any experience with this area of law? If so, what is it?
The preliminary interview was with an AI platform. I wish that it was with a person. This would’ve felt more personal. It was fairly simple, although sometimes this type of interview can be intimidating.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at DLA Piper (Sydney) in Sep 2025
Interview
Two interviews each with two different people with practical questions about my skills. Asking for examples of when you displayed your skills. Asking for an example of when you experienced a stressful situation with multiple outstanding tasks to complete.
