J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Carpmaels & Ransford (Londres, Angleterre) en mai 2024
Entretien
Virtual interview, normal questions you'd expected with some strange technical ones after, 30 seconds to prepare for 1 minute answers for non technical, and 2 minutes answers for technical questions, no feedback given unfortunatelt

Entretien
Proofreading exercise + questions based on a text before interview.
Interview consisted of going through a paper which they sent through a week before, as well as some questions such as “what is a patent”, something about resilience, and what informed your choice to become a patent attorney.
I interviewed 6 weeks ago and still haven’t heard back. They don’t treat prospective employees very well. Although the receptionists were incredibly lovely.
