    Hi guys, My SH virtual interview consists of “motivation questions”. What does this actually mean — should I just prepare for why commercial law/ why SH? Also, I would appreciate VI tips/advice. I don’t actually know how long I’ll have to answer but I’m assuming not very long. Many thanks!

    Ah thanks for letting me know! Pretty rubbish and inconsiderate of them considering their app consisted of three 600 word questions 💀 Only hope for this cycle is Paul Hastings but I think this might be the last week they’ll send responses🙏

    Hi guys, Should I assume a PFO if I haven’t received a test invitation for SH’s SVS? Also, has anyone heard back from Paul Hastings?

    Thanks for letting me know! I also ticked the box for SH's VS and haven't heard anything back. It's a shame they don't offer more information on how the scheme works within their recruitment process :( Good luck though! I hope we both hear some good news :)

    Guys does anyone know what the “offer an interview” scheme means? Does it mean that you will be guaranteed an interview and does it apply to vac schemes or is it just for TCs? Thanks in advance!

    Guys this might sound like a daft qs but should I be preparing for a potential PH interview even tho I have heard nothing from them since my initial app? I don’t really know how long you have between the interview invite and the interview itself. I also don’t want to tire myself out by...
