I've been invited to complete a VI with Latham. If anyone who has done the Latham VI before has any tips it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Guys! Has anyone heard anything from Eversheds? Hoping no news is good news.

Nothing! They said we would hear by 3 weeks after the deadline though so still got 2 weeks!

Hi guys, I hope everyone is doing well! I'm new to this forum, a massive congratulations on all those who have secured ACs and interviews! I was wondering whether anybody could advise me on the S&M interview, its coming up soon and I've never done an AC before. I'd be very grateful for any tips!

Just thought I would ask, did you do the job based test and then the mobile game test? I was trying to see if they had a bench mark as only invited people to the mobile game test if they got a certain mark on the previous one.

I got invited to the mobile gam . Now am waiting on if I passed that but dont have much hop .

Look through the thread, there is a lot of advice.

If you search there's a thread on it somewhere, I did it recently and my tip is to have an answer for 'Tell us about yourself' that fits neatly into 30 seconds - I was cut off because I didn't realise how short 30 seconds actually is!

I got invited to the mobile gam . Now am waiting on if I passed that but dont have much hop .

If this is for PwC, the mobile game invite is automatic I believe (or maybe depends on the SJT). I heard we will hear back when the application deadline closes.

Has anyone done a Slaughter and May direct TC AC? Have one coming up and I am quite nervous as I know they push people to the limit at the AC and have a reputation of being quite ruthless :/

Just been invited to a Kirkland AC!

I am so happy for you, hoping that this is the one for you

I’ve done one, message me mate. Don’t you have a TC offer already from HL?

After a rejection from jones day and DLA Piper, I managed to get through to the VI stage of Mishcon de Reya. If anyone has any tips about the video interview, I would really appreciate it.

Hi Hana!

Congratulations! I've done it last year (still haven't heard back). It consisted of 3 questions (focused on you, no commercial awareness stuff at this stage). Can't remember if I had 60 or 90 seconds to respond but it was either of the two.

Good luck!

Has anyone heard back from Simmons recently post VI? I submitted mine a little over 2 weeks ago now and have no idea what the turnaround is like

Heard from back Burges Salmon. Rejection! Very disheartened and thought it was a great application!

 

[WinnieAnn]

Heard back from Burges Salmon, I've been placed on reserve for an assessment center so they'll let me know if a spot opens up. Trying to see the silver lining because at least it wasn't a flat out rejection. Plan on prepping for the AC just in case.

Heard from back Burges Salmon. Rejection! Very disheartened and thought it was a great application!

I've also just got the rejection... I put so much research and energy into this application and I honestly thought that I stood a good chance especially since I was very keen on the firm.

I kind of feel like covering myself with a blanket and crying to "All by myself" now, but alas - I am still at work. Oh well, here's to trying not to have a meltdown in a tube on my way home this evening! (Yes, I am being dramatic, but only just a little)
