Application Process & Interviews at Lander & Rogers

The interview was very conversational and felt like they wanted to get to know me as a person.

Submit cover letter and resume, psychometric testing, interview, connection evening and then you find out if you get a clerkship.

The interview process was very relaxed and conversational.

Streamlined interview and online assessment was relatively straight forward

We a recorded interview where questions would appear on the screen and we would record out answer. Then we had a morning/afternoon tea where we would meet members of the firm. then have a formal interview with a partner and a member of HR

I was required to submit a resume and cover letter, undertake psychometric testing, do a one-way video interview, and then attend an in-person interview with a partner and an HR representative from the firm.

The interview process involved an application, phone interview, a morning-tea with the current graduates as well as a one-on-one interview with members of HR as well as lawyers. The morning-tea was an enjoyable process which gave you a brief insight from the graduates about each of their rotations, particularly regarding the work they do, the culture of the team and the general experiences as a graduate.

Initial resume and cover letter; psychometric; one way interview; interview with partner and HR

What is something kind you have done in the last week? Questions about my interests outside of work.

Conversational interview, asked about work experiences, volunteering and outside of work hobbies.

Work experience, dealing with challenges, innovation related questions and hobbies

We were asked to explain a time where something went wrong and how we managed it. As well as your standard behaviourally questions.

I was asked questions regarding my experience, how I have responded to challenges and/or problems in the workplace, how I have innovated, and to describe a recent time when I was kind to someone.

Questions regarding how you work in team, your views on team culture, previous experiences, any past mistakes, any past experimentation with innovation, general interests (what 3 things in your life are you currently grateful for)

Why the firm? Why an Australian firm?

Just be yourself - Landers if very interested in finding more out about you as a person.

Be genuine and be yourself.

Prepare responses to behavioural and situational questions

Really try and understand what the firm is about. I would try and reach out to current grads through LinkedIn and show your interest that way. Draw from real experiences when answering questions, rather than from what you think is the right answer. It shows a good attitude which I think is 90% of getting any job. Partners and HR can read through a scripted answer.

Be yourself and think about what makes you unique (they really care about you as a person, not just your qualifications).

Just be genuine and authentic!

Be natural - don't sound rehearsed about your knowledge of the firm - it doesn't generally come off However, definitely do a little bit of research regarding the practice areas your interested in and any work the firm has done which had previously tickled your interest

Know why you want to work there and be genuine.
