Damn for white and case I got strengths: personal responsibility, curiosity and adaptable

But I got collaboration as a weakness am I cooked

Deffo not as cooked as me - strengths were curiosity, credibility and adaptable my weakness was work ethic????? In fairness I had answered the SJT q's to better incorporate work/life balance as that had been an 'area of improvement' I had received on a diff SJT. I was still offended though like no way I've sat through your 90 min cappfinity for you to tell me my work ethic sucks

The post test feedback report you’ll receive after hitting all of the SJT strengths at once:​

The firms decision after reviewing the test scores and seeing maxed out SJT pillars (still a PFO):

i hate vantage and i hate myself hahaha stupid thing didn't load and my application did not get sumbitted

Ah maybe try to explain to grad rec?

Some ppl missed HSF Kramer & Goodwin as they had any issues when submitting their app through Vantage, but they weren't allowed to submit after the deadline, I guess GR team won't compensate such a filthy mistake when there isn't high stake such as cloud service down or like TS, conflicting deadline.

They can pry pop culture references out of my cold, dead hands x

Me when the partner asks me to explain my rationale in the case study : ”The girls that get it, get it. The girls that don’t, don’t.”

Partner: “Hmm are you sure?”

Me: “Periodt!”

Has anyone heard from Willkie post-VI?

I progressed to WE but this was back in like September when Gemma was still working there. I’ve heard nothing since progressing tho so I have no idea when it is. Does anyone have any info?

Definitely do the practise test they provide you with, I struggled with time and how different it was from SJT
