I applied online. I interviewed at Carpmaels & Ransford (London, England) in Nov 2025
Interview
After the initial written assessment stage, I got to the video interview stage, where I had 4 different questions, which were mainly technical and required me to explain the mechanism of action of a specific therapy, which I had to click to see the image of how it works.

Interview
Proofreading exercise + questions based on a text before interview.
Interview consisted of going through a paper which they sent through a week before, as well as some questions such as “what is a patent”, something about resilience, and what informed your choice to become a patent attorney.
I interviewed 6 weeks ago and still haven’t heard back. They don’t treat prospective employees very well. Although the receptionists were incredibly lovely.
