      Technical Assistant (Trainee Patent Attorney) Interview

      6 Aug 2023
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Dehns in May 2023

      Interview

      The interview process consisted of four stages. I submitted a CV and covering letter and was invited to complete a set of psychometric tests and to complete a written, time-limited technical exercise. Following this I was invited to interview with them. The first was a remote interview with a senior associate; this was described as a conversational interview to establish my interest in the role and the firm, and my suitability for the role. The second stage was an in-person interview with two senior partners. This consisted primarily of technical questions, however it felt quite conversational and nothing about it seemed terribly difficult or unreasonable. The third stage was an in-person interview with the team I'd be integrated into, and following this I received a phone call offering me the role. My overall experience is clearly positive, having been offered the job. But, I'd like to make clear that the multi-stage qualfying process they have seems specifically designed to give the candidate the best chance of success, not least by including several aspects of examination. I interviewed with some other firms around this time and my experience here was overwhelmingly more positive than at any other.
