On last year’s thread it seems like people began to receive ACs between the end of Jan and mid Feb so maybe they’ll do the same this year. Idk why they’re taking so long this year though cos they did bring the app deadline forward.

I don't have any inputs, but I was glad to see that their application is very short! When did you apply?
This has made my day! Been working on this app but wasnt completely happy with my cover letter, so the extra few days has really helped
I don’t see why they made applications rolling if they were going to take this longOn last year’s thread it seems like people began to receive ACs between the end of Jan and mid Feb so maybe they’ll do the same this year.

Majority of firms state you don't need any legal experience - it's about making whatever experience you have highlight how you great you would be in a TC / showcase your transferrable skills. I found I started to get more traction on my apps when I really researched the firm in detail - looked at annual reports, anything current in the commercial market that directly relates to them and also having a compelling reason to apply to them. I do think this is much more important than legal experience, from my perspective anyway.
That's no sense if the applicant pool is increased significantly than last year, especially firm without app questions like FF would experience this!

Just recieve a VI invitation. Any website that i can practice on VI?
I’m not sure if this helps but I practiced all my VI’s just by recording myself on my iPad and listening back to my tone and how I came across
i have an offer for the vac and i believe they mentioned they’ll start on the dtc ac’s after they finish doing the AC’s and offers for the svs!
Sounds great! Is there any list of common questions that will show in the VI?I’m not sure if this helps but I practiced all my VI’s just by recording myself on my iPad and listening back to my tone and how I came across
I would practice for motivational questions (why X firm, why law?) situational questions (what would you do if X happened?) commercial (tell us about a recent commercial story and how it could impact the firm and its clients) and competency (tell us about a time where you displayed leadership?) etc!
Thanks folk. It helps a lot. But i searched the list and cannot find it.LittleLaw has a list of 35 interview questions also I believe
Would you like to share the link if you have?https://littlelaw.co.uk/c/law-firm-questions here you go!Thanks folk. It helps a lot. But i searched the list and cannot find it.
is there a list somewhere of DTC that are open after January and that have a decent number of positions? I have been applying for VS but now that they are closing up, I want to dedicate time to DTC applications. Any ideas? I've got White & Case on my list for now
