Graduate Consultant
Interview process
We had information on what the day would consist of before arriving in order to prepare which had plenty of information and was very beneficial.
Firstly, we started the day of with a short presentation on LHi and what the job entailed.
Then, we had to choose a famous person who inspires us. We we're then given the opportunity to sell our famous person to the group and discuss why we felt that if there was the chance to only save one, who it would.
The second task was interviewing another candidate in the room, asking all the relevant questions and then selling them back to the managers where managers asked questions about why we felt they would be successful in the role.
Following this section the successful candidates (which narrowed down to 5) were then interviewed individually which lasted about 30-40 minutes.

Most difficult question
Who inspires you. While this wouldn't normally be a difficult question, but as you have already just contributed towards the famous person debate on who should survive, you don't want to use that person again however they were the one which was at the top of my mind.
Interview tips
Don't be afraid to get involved in the group discussions as the ones who were not successful to the second part were the ones who remained queiter.
Although I wasn't successful in the role it was definitely a worth while experience and the firm seemed to genuinely care about each candidate and really guided me through the interview process.
