I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Vriens & Partners in Feb 2025
Interview
I had a meaningful time interviewing with Vriens & Partners. The Interview was divided into two parts: one part was focused on the Written Test (which was accomplished prior to the interview). Questions concerned the thought processes I employed, strengths and weaknesses of my answers, and reflections on the overall process.
On the other hand, the second part was all encompassing. It is like any other interview where I had a mix of technical and personal questions. In general, I found it to be enjoyable and allowed for ample reflection on my goals and career plans with the Firm.
