Hi! I got an invite for a virtual interview yesterday, has anyone done a Shoosmiths VI before? Is anyone aware of what type of questions they ask? I.e. competency-based/commercial awareness based? Thanks and well done to those who have secured interviews/straight TC assessment centres. I read...
no in my actual emails but for some reason i didn’t get a notification, i just randomly checked my gmail and it was there. just keep checking! wish you all the best
I also find it odd that no one on here has had any info on the Birmingham office, I'm trying to remain hopeful that they have more places for next week but I don't want to get my hopes up.
Oh no! Did they provide an explanation? Wish you all the best with your future applications, getting this far proves that we do have the potential and we should be proud regardless.
I read somewhere that Gowling has 50 spaces for vac schemes and 25 for training contracts. Probably means that the AC will have 50+ candidates. I am not sure about the total volume of applicants however but it is still impressive that we have made it this far! I have seen scary statistics like...
We weren’t given an option, they might give us an option after the AC (if we get in hopefully), or allocate us to a scheme.
I know the suspense is rough but I’m sure that once one of us gets a reply someone will post on here to let us know!
