    My A&L interview was very much based on experience too - it's a very personal interview so the questions are based on your past internships and work experiences, rather than learning off specific competency quesions that everyone would have learned. Also, it goes without saying, but I think having a good opening is very good since it's a blind interview and it essentially sets the tone (and what you're open to being asked questions about) for the reamainder of the interview.

    Mine too, I basically set out my experience in the first question which set the tone for the rest of it.

    AMOSS are particularly bad with replies. I interviewed with them previously, if you don’t hear within 3 weeks of closing date of applications, cross them off.

    So has anyone heard from them this time around?

    Anyone have any experience with the Matheson interview process?

    The email is fairly sparse on details so just wondering does anyone else have info/tips?

    From memory there were two rounds of interviews. First round was an interview with two partners and was a typical interview e.g. tell me about yourself, why Matheson etc.

    Second round consisted of two interviews with two different partners for each interview. Both interviews were relatively similar to the first interview.

    Process may have changed this year so maybe ask what HR what the situation is. Good luck with it!

    Mine was less experience and more competency/scenario based which I hadn’t been expecting. I can never gauge how well/poor I’ve performed in them! Forgot to ask when they would be making offers- do you know?

    Did anyone else find A&l didn’t really ask questions about experience? Mine were more personal based?

    Got me a little worried.

    What was even more worrying is I wasn’t asked “Why A&L”. Has anyone else experienced this ? In any of my other interviews I was always asked “Why choose this firm?”

    That is a little odd. My entire interview was heavily based on probing questions relating to work experience, with the "why A&L" question spinning off into a fairly substantial discussion on the wider activities of the firm.

    Did they just not follow up on any of your past experiences from your intro?

    I wouldn't worry too much though, the 'blind' structure of the interview gives partners a wider scope to explore avenues which they feel are best suited to particular candidates.

    Oh jesus, I was driving when I seen the notification and nearly lost control of the car. On the 29th I'm setting my phone on loud, if i get a call with (01) prefix I'll be delighted, if i hear an email, then chucking phone out the window.

    On that topic, anyone know if Matheson will be one or two rounds this year?
