[MrHubertLouis]

Which company is this for if you don't mind me asking?

I’m so sorry, this was meant to be a reply to your question about SH but I got the two questions confused. 😭

Hey guys, hope to get some advice. I got an AC for a VS but as I am based outside the UK, I have to fly to the UK and it is very costly. I do not think the firm offers virtual AC due to the format of the AC. I have already accepted the AC invite in-person a while back as I was very eager for the AC. Should I ask if I could do the AC virtually even though I doubt this is an option, and would requesting this now put the firm off? Is it advisable that I fly to the UK for the AC? Thanks.

Group exercises typically form a part of the assessment at a law firm assessment centre. How common is it for lawyers at a law firm to work together as a group under timed conditions all sat together at a table and for someone to time-keep?

Can I ask when you both did the test? I did mine in about mid Jan and still haven't heard back

Did anyone who applied to DWF for the SVS get invited to the VI/next steps? Aware they were recruiting for social mobility schemes too, so wondering if they have already found a bunch of great candidates?

Akin PFO post-test

I have no idea why they made you wait so long, after I took the test, they rejected me 5 days after... or maybe its cause I scored so low lmao

 

[S87]

Are you guys applying to Paul Hastings vs, just tc or both?

 

[The-PFO-Collector]

For those who got the Akin PFO post test and for those who got to the TI stage, what were your test strengths and weaknesses?

nvm akin pfo 💀

 

[anonymouscatboy]

For those who got the Akin PFO post test and for those who got to the TI stage, what were your test strengths and weaknesses?

I think my strengths were credibility and self-accountability or something like that, and my weakness was collaboration so I'm not surprised about the rejection tbh

 

[tommyt_04]

Is it normal/acceptable to ask a law firm you're doing a vac scheme at to allow you to attend an interview for another firm whilst you're there (if you have no other choice scheduling wise)? for example by extending your break or coming in a little later?
