I'm sorry sir, your banana is not the required lengthAIFMD: Clemency for Cayman?
 
I’m no expert on hedge funds. But I like to keep up with big industry developments because a) many of our international financial services candidates and clients are experts (and I like to be able to talk to them about more than stingrays and soccer) and b) the funds industry is one of the main drivers of the Cayman Islands economy, to which we are intimately connected.

2 weeks ago our Ben flew out to Singapore to kill two birds with one stone. Firstly to go and visit clients and candidates that he's been working with and to cement those relationships and secondly to represent CML at the ALB South East Asia 2010 Awards.

This prestigious industry event was a chance for us to promote the good name of CML directly to existing and potential clients in one of the worlds fastest growing cities.

Luckily we paid to sponsor one award but due to out monumental effort of sending a representative all that way they gave us two. Offshore Law Firm of the Year and Singapore Deal Law Firm of the Year.  

As we were the exclusive recruitment sponsor for the evening our banners we're proudly stationed on screens either side of the plush ...

From speaking with our consultants and clients, we have found some definite don'ts that seem to crop up more than you would expect! Here they are, make sure you take heed of these for your next interview...

 

 

 

10 Definite Don'ts! for interviews…
  1. Don’t be late! Punctuality is very important for all workplaces and your first impression is the interview.
  2. Don’t wear your Friday night club outfit to your interview! The workplace is less fashion-forward and more conservative – Church outfits work well.
  3. Don’t leave your sunglasses on! You should have excellent eye contact with the Interviewer(s) when they are speaking to you so that they know you are list...

I am frequently asked by candidates who are working onshore about how the interview process for positions at offshore law firms operates.

The answer is that it depends on the firm involved.
 
Some firms will conduct first interviews by telephone, others by videoconference and yet others will arrange for the candidate to attend at the firm’s London office (if they have one) for a face to face meeting with some of the firm’s London-based Partners.
 
Most firms tend to have a two interview process, and if the candidate performs well at first interview then the second interview will either be by telephone, videoconference, a meeting in the firm’s London office, or it may even involve them being flown out ...

Writing a good Curriculum Vitae (CV) or Resume doesn’t have to mean following a standard template or copying one off the internet, it should be specific to you and the job you are applying for. This document is usually the only kind of communication you will have with an employer in order to gain an interview and so should be a document you are proud of. You should think of your CV as an advertisement of you nothing more and nothing less.   Many people will apply for a role with a generic CV just hoping someone sees something they like, not realizing that quite often over 100 candidates have done exactly the same thing. You need to make sure that your CV stands out for all the RIGHT reasons. Here are a few tips on a che...
