"Tell us about a time you presided over the biggest miscarriage of justice in English legal history"Also what kind of questions are there in the Womble Bond VI?
Bro definitely just did the bakers VI 😂Hey guys,
Come here for abit of reassuring and support. Just had a VI which I wasn’t happy with.
What do you do when it’s a question you haven’t prepared for? Something you just simply did not see coming.
I refuse to accept someone can have every possible question ready. It just simply isn’t possible. It’s great when there’s a question you prepared for , or at least something you can weave a slightly different question into.
What are your go to moves when you’re faced with a question you just haven’t heard before? Something you just can’t find an example for in the 10 seconds or so you have to prepare.
It’s all well and good to say a few points, but 1-2 mins for an answer is a long long time. You can’t simply submit a quick 30 second answer.
Any ideas
that's what im thinking, id be so sad if that was the caseshould we assume pfo if we are waiting for akin post sjt??
Same as any other AC tbh! Just be friendly, engaged and commercially aware! ☺️Nice one: any tips on converting the AC to the VS offer?
was this post VI or post app?Last years valentines day I got a vi invite from wc. This year they gave me a pfo.
They must love valentines day or sth 😂
what kind of questions were there in the VIBasically they asked situation based questions, numerical and verbal questions and video interview questions as far as I remember
Yes, you can follow up even if it’s just to get confirmation of the scheme dates.Hi @axelbeugre @Jessica Booker, if you know that you’ve been offered a place at a firm because they rang you but they haven’t sent the offer letter in over 2 weeks - should I send a follow-up email/ring them? I have received another offer since and there is a small chance that the placements could clash if I don’t get my preferred choice of dates.
Thank you so much!!
Not “blacklisted” but the firm is going to know that they aren’t your first choice, so isn’t necessarily going to go out of their way to accommodate you. If they allow you to reapply (consider that some firms don’t allow you to reapply in the same recruitment cycle), then they are just likely to treat you like any other candidate - there are no guarantees of any preferential treatment just because you were given an offer.Will you get blacklisted by a firm for turning down a VS citing a clash with another VS? @Jessica Booker
WBD won’t update anyone until the week of March 22nd! It’s in one of their emailsHey, guys did anyone receive any AC invite from any of these law firms since you did the VI or WG of these firms?

They are with HSF and Cleary and I am really struggling to choose because I really enjoyed both ACs and am really interested in the work they do. I guess the sensible thing to do is to accept HSF given their conversion rate but it feels horrible to turn down a firm I really like especially if it means they would never hire me in the future.Go with the firm you most want to work for. People will say you need to consider the chances of converting to a TC too, and that is something to consider in cases where it’s difficult for you to distinguish a preference between the two.
A vacation scheme is an open door to be considered carefully for a TC, and turning a firm down that you have a clear preference for is the easiest way of closing that door.
you can move laterally don't worry. they won't turn down a potentially excellent associate/partner because you rejected the firm for a vs several years agoThey are with HSF and Cleary and I am really struggling to choose because I really enjoyed both ACs and am really interested in the work they do.
