I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at HFW (Hong Kong) in Mar 2026
Interview
The interview was conducted virtually via Teams for around 40 minutes. I was interviewed by the HR Manager and a Senior Associate. Some questions were based on my experience, while some are about my understanding about their business, such as recent news. The conversation was nice and friendly. However, the internet lagged for a few times during the meeting, and I have not received any updates regarding my application since the interview.
Standard law firm process: initial interview is part of the firm's assessment day. It is hosted online and is skills and competency based. The final interview is in person and is commercial and motivation-based.
The online assessment day consisted of four distinct stages, each clearly structured and well organised. Interviewers followed pre-set questions, created a professional atmosphere, and were consistently friendly, welcoming, and supportive throughout the process.
