finally got pwc vi!!

their weird no graduate visa rule apparently does not apply for ppl that haven't completed LPC/SQE ( cuz we will be on student visa before getting a work visa). If anyone on this forum got PFO'ed for that just email them! I got my vi invite a month after getting a PFO

Hi all, does anyone know whether CMS give you feedback post WG?

 

[ah898]

does anyone know what the online interview questions are for pinsent masons?

You have unlimited time to prepare them so you can just open the test to find out . If I remember correctly one is 'why pinsent masons?' and the second is competency based, but I've completely blanked on what it was.

It’s not necessary to do so, but I would only exclude things if you think other work experience supersedes or duplicates the entries you won’t include.

Old entries that may seem less relevant, like part time jobs in retail during your college or university studies, can be really powerful in showing your ability to time manage. However you might want to avoid really short stints in such employment at the same time, especially if you have other similar entries that are for longer periods.

You ultimately get to choose what you include in an application, but I wouldn’t rush into not including jobs. It’s only if you really have lots and lots of jobs over a very long period of time that I think you should be selective.

congrats! did you email them for your results or do they automatically send them to you upon completion?

where are you able to see your percentile?

Just about to sit the Latham SJT and was just wondering if someone had a link to Latham's key competencies for reference? Also, do you get a break in-between the SJT and VI? Or is it straight into the VI? Thanks!
