The psychotechnical tests will analyze your flexibility and ability to learn, your emotional intelligence and your cognitive elasticity, among other skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This may sound daunting, but with the right preparation and mindset, you can ace it. Research the tests that will be expected of you (they may differ from traditional testing methods) and prepare, prepare, prepare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t be afraid to reach out<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When researching a law firm, connecting with employees is a proactive way to show your interest and get some insight into the selection process. Try sending a message through LinkedIn\u2014you might be surprised by how many of our alumni will happily let you in on their wisdom and knowledge. And if you play your cards right, you could earn an invitation to participate in a selection process before it\u2019s been made public\u2014you never know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Send in your application as soon as possible<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is especially important as law firms will often open and close applications earlier than you may expect\u2014some even start the recruitment process a year in advance! Keeping up to date with the firm\u2019s processes will allow you to stay ahead of the game and show off your great time-management skills. Remember\u2014even if your application isn\u2019t perfect, it\u2019s better to send it than to leave it sitting in your drafts folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For even more tips, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/es\/law-school\/noticias-eventos\/noticias\/experiencia-habilidades-y-aptitudes-descubre-lo-que-analizan-los-despachos-de-abogados-durante-sus-procesos-de-seleccion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You made it! Here\u2019s what to focus on once you\u2019re in the process<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Demonstrate your interest in global affairs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping up to date with global affairs by constantly reading and digesting information is an excellent way to stay informed and well versed on international issues and legal matters. Try to read the Financial Times, the Economist as well as national newspapers on a regular basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Brush up on your languages<\/strong> Language skills are vital, especially if you\u2019re hoping to work with international law firms. And in many cases, a high grasp of the English language is essential, even before you\u2019ve been accepted. Some firms carry out the technical test in English, and others require candidates to attend an in-person interview with a native speaker in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns left-image is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Being able to navigate multiple languages is a valued asset that law firms hold in high esteem.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Post-48-1.jpg\" alt=\"Our top tips for acing the law firm selection process\" class=\"wp-image-27772\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Post-48-1.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Post-48-1-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Post-48-1-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Post-48-1-585x379.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Showcase your time-management skills<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To successfully juggle several deadlines and clients, you need to be able to organize effectively.

Fortunately, studying a law program with IE University means you will have plenty of practice in the art of time management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Show off your soft skills<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, law firms seek professional experience, language skills and legal knowledge when choosing between candidates, but it goes without saying that soft skills are equally as important. If you\u2019ve got this far, it\u2019s likely that you have a strong sense of critical vision. Make sure to communicate that you constantly strive to improve and that you question everything. You should also demonstrate that you\u2019re able to accept criticism from your peers and that you\u2019re humble. And while creativity may not be the first quality that comes to mind when focusing on what law firms are looking for, it is highly sought after. Creativity in this sense draws on being able to think quickly and come up with solutions, even in high pressure environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns right-image is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Post-48-2.jpg\" alt=\"Our top tips for acing the law firm selection process\" class=\"wp-image-27773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Post-48-2.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Post-48-2-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Post-48-2-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Post-48-2-585x379.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Being able to collaborate with others effectively while still being able to work autonomously is also crucial.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Above all, let your innate talent and personality shine through.
