What is “real interview practice” with an employment lawyer?

Real interview practice means participating in a mock interview conducted by a professional – in this case, an employment lawyer – that simulates the experience of a genuine job interview. This helps with feedback, improving responses, and reducing nerves.

Who can benefit from mock interviews with an employment lawyer?

Anyone preparing for a job interview can benefit - recent graduates, people changing careers, professionals seeking promotion, or anyone re-entering the job market. It’s especially useful in competitive sectors or when you want to polish your interview performance.

How is real interview practice different from practising with friends or family?

Practising with friends or family often lacks realism, feedback on legal or employer expectations, or the pressure of something “on the line.” An employment lawyer can simulate realistic interview conditions, pose relevant questions, evaluate your answers, and offer specialised advice.

What can I expect during a mock interview session?

You’ll typically be asked questions relevant to your role or industry, similar to ones you might face in a real interview. Afterwards, you’ll receive constructive feedback on areas like your responses, structure, body language, clarity, and how to improve.

How many sessions do I need to see improvement?

While one mock interview can provide valuable insight, improvement tends to be stronger with repeated practice. Two or more sessions allow you to apply feedback, refine your responses, and build confidence over time.

Does Wright Hassall offer virtual or in-person interview practice?

Yes. We can offer mock interviews either virtually (via video conference) or in person, depending on your location and availability. The format is flexible to meet your needs.

Real Interview Practice

FAQs Contact us

Our employment team understands that preparing for interviews can be daunting, especially in today’s competitive job market. Securing the right role often depends not only on your skills and experience but also on how confidently you present yourself during the interview process.

Many candidates struggle with nerves and uncertainty, and while practising with friends or family can help, it rarely replicates the pressure of a real interview. To bridge this gap, we provide real interview practice with an experienced employment lawyer. This unique service allows you to test your responses in a realistic setting, receive constructive feedback, and build the confidence you need to perform at your best.

Whether you are a graduate entering the workforce, a professional seeking promotion, or someone returning to employment after a break, our real interview practice sessions give you practical experience to help you succeed.

Difficulty Level

We recognise that the individuals who want to sharpen their interview skills will have varying levels of experience, some with decades in their chosen industry and others who have never had an interview. Therefore, some interviewees may want a formal interview with difficult questions, whereas others may need a more informal, friendly interview. To cater for this need, we offer our clients a choice of levels - beginner, intermediate or advanced.

Why Wright Hassall?

Wright Hassall is the best choice for this service as the interviewer will be a member of Wright Hassall’s expert Employment Law team. These individuals are qualified employment lawyers. Further information on Wright Hassall’s Employment Law team members can be found here.

What information can you provide?

In addition to your CV, industry and company, you may also wish to send us a job description. If you have been invited to interview for your dream job, it’s a great idea to have a practice interview first to make sure you give your best possible performance. In this situation, we can analyse the job description and company to give you the most bespoke and relevant questions possible which will really test your knowledge of the company.

Why not just have a friend interview you?

We’ve all been there! Some friends can’t stop laughing, whilst others offer too much constructive criticism, but none are qualified strangers who resemble an actual interviewer. We strongly believe our service is as close as possible to the real thing, and that is what makes the experience invaluable.
