In an SJT, is it aways better to choose the option where you take initiative than to reach out to a manager or a superior when faced with a difficult task?
Completely agree with @SCN, who has done a wonderful job of explaining their reasoning 👏👏👏 Firms can assign varying levels of importance to different competencies, but as you practice, it will become more apparent where you need to take initiative and where you need to reach out to your supervisors. Let me know if you want links to some posts here on the forum with top tips and practice resources for SJTs!I think it really depends on the situation. If you have multiple competing deadlines and there's a real danger you won't be able to meet any of them, then yes definitely reach out and let your supervisor know asap. If you need more context on the difficult task, then it's better to ask questions before you start. If, however, you have the tools to find the answer out but you just want someone to tell you what to do, then obviously use your initiative

I was just about to do the Reed Smith VI - but the link has expired? The email says 11.59pm on Sunday...
I'll send an email to Grad Rec now, but just wondering if anyone else has had this problem?

I really hope so! the first email said that the deadline will be 11:59pm today once we accept the invite, but there's no way of accepting the invite other than by starting the interview. Very strange.I think a lot of people are having issues with the RS VI link - I’ve sent them an email but won’t hear back till tomorrow morning probably! I’ll give them a ring in the morning and provide an update as soon as I hear anything.
I’m sure they’ll give us an extra day especially as so many people are having issues!
I agree!I really hope so! the first email said that the deadline will be 11:59pm today once we accept the invite, but there's no way of accepting the invite other than by starting the interview. Very strange.
That’s weird bc when you click on the link, it said that the link expires around 5pm today. That’s bc we received the email on Thursday around that time so it makes sense that that is exactly 3 days time.I agree!
The email does state “11.59pm” as the deadline, and there was nothing to ‘accept’? Glad it’s not just me having this issue! I’m guessing that the link expired for the time that the email was originally sent?
Graduate Recruitment are unlikely to pick it up until the morning. You might want to contact the video interview platform provider to see if they can provide any support.I am currently experiencing the same issue! I have sent an email but I don't know if they'll get back to me today.

I did get an email, 7 days to complete the VI!My portal has changed to say that I have a VI but I still haven't had an email to confirm it and so have no idea of the details. Did you get an email confirming your VI? And is there a time limit to when you have to complete the VI by?
Electric vehicles and their implementationCan I ask what you wrote about, out of interest?
I had the same issue, but given the amount of people it’s affected they’ll have to resend the link tomorrow and allow extra time surelyI am currently experiencing the same issue! I have sent an email but I don't know if they'll get back to me today.
Fingers crossed! It was also a very tight turnaround so let’s seeI had the same issue, but given the amount of people it’s affected they’ll have to resend the link tomorrow and allow extra time surely
It also says that I can record so I'm not sure if the time limit has started!w
Same here and it says that I can record it now! Does anyone else have that and if so, does this mean that the time limit has start?
