Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

[Castelli99]

Hi everyone,
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas! I have an upcoming Baker McKenzie video interview - I wondered if anyone has previous experience with what kind of questions to expect, and how best to prepare for it?

Thank you!

Hi - just wonderinf when you did the tests and when you heard about VI? I am waiting to hear back

Did mine on the 17th or 18th, can't remember but still waiting to hear! Well done. I think I wrote some advice about the VI from what they said on the Open Day, in this thread.

Hi all. Can someone please enlighten me as to how the 7 calendar days works? I had 7 calendar days from 24 December to complete tests. Does this mean I have until midnight tonight or 11:55pm tomorrow (31 Dec)?

11:59 31st

Hi Ricky, thank you! I'll have a look through

Has anyone applied for Ashurst and how did you find the Revelian tests?

And make sure it is completed by then, not started.

I wouldn’t leave it that late though just in case you experience any technical issues (which most likely you won’t get support for until Thursday).

I found them very tough - definitely the hardest testing I've done from any law firm so far!

Same here!

I was quite disappointed I didn't do well in emotify tests and spotting grammatical errors, which are normally my strengths.

Does anyone know when Reed Smith will be opening their direct training contract applications?

 

[J Wu]

Mayer Brown rejection post-telephone interview. Onwards and upwards.

I am pretty sure they are looking to recruit purely from the two vacation schemes, if I recall correctly from Open Day.
