No, 10 working days have passed since the deadline of my Video Interview

Is your time taken into consideration when scoring candidates?

* recently did Freshfields WG and had a few mins left so spent it reviewing questions 😬

It can be. It might not at the same time though. Depends how the firm and test provider want to assess. All these things are variable subject to the test design.

This is why I stress that although the test may look practically identical they aren’t the same test and shouldn’t be treated as such.

Anyone done the Willkie Assessment Centre (part 1) and can offer some advice? Have mine tomorrow!

ah thank you but I meant post application but that's great that you got to the vi! hope you hear back soon

Right, I love yall but this weekend I got 10+ messages about the PWC VI.

Here is my advice:
-Have loads of paper in front of you to take notes - there are sub-questions
- Be well rested and have a coffee - it does take an hour
- Know the firm's values, this is integral

No, I will not tell you the questions as that is against application integrity. I suggest you go onto the module website that is tagged on the email they send you as there are some practice ones.

Best of luck!

[KS94]

Is anyone else experiencing issues with the search function on TCLA?

does anybody know when applicants will hear back from Skadden post-AC?

Their HR department said we should have our DBS documents ready by the 8th of Feb, so anytime from today is fair game really.

If a firm asks what other firms I have applied to, how many is appropriate to list?

 

[Celestie]

If a firm asks what other firms I have applied to, how many is appropriate to list?

I usually say what type of firms and tie one or two examples to it

 

[TCLA Community Assistant]

If a firm asks what other firms I have applied to, how many is appropriate to list?

As many as you can justify. There won’t be a set number on this.
