What to expect in your interview
Video interview
During the video interview, you’ll answer three questions. You’ll have 15 seconds to prepare for each question and 90 seconds to answer. Before you answer the questions, you’ll have the opportunity to complete a practice question to help you feel more at ease.
Telephone interview
The telephone interview (for applicants applying directly for a training contract only) is 30 minutes in length. It’ll be with a member of our Graduate Resourcing and Development team, and the questions will focus on the competencies we look for in our trainee solicitors.
Face-to-face interview
This is your opportunity to meet with the Graduate Resourcing and Development team, associates and partners. During the interviews, we want to hear about your experiences so far and why you’re interested in a career in law. We also want to know why you’re interested in joining White & Case. You’ll be given the opportunity to ask any questions you have.
