Shoosmiths Training Contract Virtual Video Interview
Hey @Doyin Oreagba,Nothing at all
I'm sorry to hear that you haven't yet had any responses. When you say pre-recorded interview, do you mean the video interview stage?
If it were me, I would try to proactively reach out to users on the forum who have previously posted about applying to SSs (in particular those who have posted about their direct TC route and the video interview stage). If you type "Shoosmiths" in the search bar (in the top right hand corner of your browser if you are using a laptop), quite a bit seems to come up.
I am very happy to help answer some more general queries about VIs too. This, this, this and this post should give you a thorough understanding of how to prepare for VIs in general!
Hi George,
I’m quite new to the forum so still trying to get to grips with everything. Thank you so much for this!
It’s the video interview stage through the Launchpad software so I won’t be talking to an actual person.
