The assessment day was super friendly but moved really fast. I had a chat with 1 partner and 1 associate, and it was mostly situational judgement questions. They left me with 10 minutes at the end to ask them questions.

Interview for an internship in the real estate department at CMS LAW in Monaco. The HR person was nice, but the lawyer in charge was quite unpleasant. She seemed judgmental about my background.

I remember having motivational, competency and situational questions but they may have changed it to include commercial questions this year you never know. For prep I would say prepare early for questions you know are likely to come up in most VIs such as why cms why apprenticeship tell me a time when … etc. Don’t write a script, just have a rough idea about what you would say for certain questions maybe in bullet point form/blurting.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Can you share an instance where you were given incomplete information for a task and were still required to produce an outcome? What steps did you take to resolve it?
  • Could you describe a situation where you exhibited integrity?
