Assessment Day - Negotiation exercise and presentation
Thank you so much for the advice Jaysen, Yes I think I really should just go for my actual interest and link it back to the firm's work as much as possible. I've been doing the opposite, i.e looking at the firm's work and trying to find a relevant issue but I have been feeling like it's really...- PrincessTotoro

Assessment Day - Negotiation exercise and presentation
Yes this is so true! I need to remember not to ramble and keep it concise. Do you find that there are particular resources you used that were helpful?- PrincessTotoro

Assessment Day - Negotiation exercise and presentation
Thank you so so much, this is amazing advice! I think most importantly for me I just need to get over my nerves about being scrutinised by partners and other people who obviously know so much about everything they are asking. I just hope I can show my best self on the day!- PrincessTotoro

Ah I see that we are! :) I am not sure whether we will be on the same day but best of luck to you! I have not seen many people who applied to this firm so it's really hard to get that 'insider' knowledge.- PrincessTotoro

Assessment Day - Negotiation exercise and presentation
Hi everyone, I have just received my first assessment day invite and I am feeling very lost and frankly quite terrified.

Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020
I didn’t realise you can find out how you did on your Watson Glaser. Did you email graduate recruitment? I got through and did my video interview a few days ago but I’m not expecting anything as it went horribly.- PrincessTotoro

Bird & Bird Video Interview
Thanks Ricky, I also went to the Open Day, I can confirm this was exactly what the graduate recruitment emphasised. To add, please make sure you are appropriately dressed (let's do learn the lesson from the gentleman who had a VI with Eversheds). Make sure you are not disturbed and try to...- PrincessTotoro

Bird & Bird Video Interview
Thank you so much for this Daniel! I've applied to Bird & Bird as well so this helps a lot! This is my first application so I am quite terrified of every aspect of the whole application process. I am currently sweating over doing this Watson Glaser first though... :(- PrincessTotoro

Totally screwed up video interview
speaking of video interviews and screw-ups... https://www.instagram.com/p/B5acDNGBsib/?igshid=1g8jhv3r53dnx I feel so bad for this guy, getting a video interview is no small achievement!

Bird & Bird VC/TC Application Questions
Hey everyone, I'm currently working on Bird & Bird application and one of the questions they ask is "what will be the greatest innovation to influence the firm in the next 5 years and why?" I'm really not sure how to answer this question. As Bird&Bird is one of the law firms who are most...- PrincessTotoro
