210 client administrator interview questions shared by candidates

- First stage (HR): You can certainly expect to be asked "Why Shoosmiths and tell me what do you know about the company?", so a proper research in advance is absolutely vital. There is some useful information on Shoosmiths' website what to expect from the interview, but I would also advise to have a look into Legal500 and their YouTube channel. I spent couple of hours on research and created a few-page-long Word document before the interview (to give you the sense of preparation and time needed in advance). Furthermore, they will ask you about your relevant experience (e.g., "What did you do in your previous job and how does it match with the advertised role?") and will follow up with questions to gather more details. There is no one "master key" approach to a candidate, so the best advice would be to just relax and be yourself. It may sound cliche but it really makes a difference when you do not stress (and the recruiters are really approachable!) Lastly, DO ASK QUESTIONS!!! I cannot emphasise how important it is. This is as much a process for Shoosmiths to find an employee, as it is for a candidate to find a suitable employer. Therefore, you need to be interested in the position. Otherwise, I really do not think it is worth applying, because you would waste both yours and your recruiters' time. - Second stage (Partners): Basically, everything from above also applies to the second interview. They would be mainly interested in your previous experience and who you are as a person. Moreover, I would add a bit of commercial awareness to be able to converse freely about the news relevant to your sector. If you let your personality shine through, I am sure you would be able to wow them. Good luck! :)
