The employer’s process page provides the overall structure; the exact invitation controls your next step. Submit the requested resume and academic results, then complete any additional legal-programme questions. Complete the psychometric and recorded-video stages as instructed. Prepare for conversations about your competencies and interests; local clerkship networking opportunities may accompany recruitment.
MinterEllison’s interview guidance makes room for evidence beyond formal legal work. Select an example from employment, volunteering or study that shows a skill relevant to advising clients. Practice explaining the situation, your action and the outcome, then consider what you learned. Research the firm and prepare questions that help you understand the work and people in your chosen office.
