Baker McKenzie

[Demna87]

Hello again, everyone. It's been more than a day since I sat the WG and I haven't received a response from Baker McKenzie yet, should I be worried? It appears to me that they have been taking half a day to get back to applicants at this stage...

I think it took me a week to hear back after the WG and I did pass, so I don't think there's any set timeframe.

Can someone tell me how much time is given to us to prepare for the Video Interview questions for Baker McKenzie?
Thank you!

I think you get 45 seconds to prepare before each question

Can I ask when you completed the test?

 

[hopelesscaseofwhat]

I wouldn't worry - it might be that a lot of people completed the test yesterday and they are working through the backlog. You have done what you can and tried your best so just try to sit tight. They will no doubt let you know as soon as they have reviewed your test score.

Alright, thank you

Hi All, I just posted this on another forum, but I thought it might help to also post on here as well, but I've recently read on some websites that Baker McKenzie's video interview is composed of strength based questions. I'm a bit worried as I've mainly been preparing for competency/commercial awareness based questions. Besides that one website that said BM uses strength based questions I cannot find any other place where it says that. Can anyone whose done the VI let me know if it was a more strength based interview? Thanks!

I have been invited for VI as well and from what I've understood and heard from people is that it is competency based questions with one commercial one I believe. Best thing is to probably just prep for both as we never know what might come up!

I’ve always thought strengths questions as a sub-set of competency ones. They might just test certain character attributes like resilience or might ask you outright about your strengths and weaknesses

Thanks! Do you think they'll be any questions on AI/US Trade War or even Brexit?

Okay, thank you so much!

In those 45 seconds would it be unprofessional to look at your notes? I'm not sure how it works but I'm assuming the cameras on you the whole time.

Replied in the other thread. Personally I didn’t but would have no hesitation in doing so if it works for you.
