Anyone still waiting for Withers post-test 🫠 I'll probably be 60yo when they get back to me

Got SH assessment🤩Does anyone know prep time/delivery time for the VI questions?

really stupid question but i thought there was an online test before the VI?

 

[Miss Chocolate]

you got the test?

yep, it's asking me to complete an assessment but I haven't been provided any additional information.

Has everyone that's heard back from SH, heard back for the UK offices?

I applied to the Dubai office but I am not sure if that makes a difference as I am fairly certain the London office does the recruiting for vac schemes.

Has anyone heard back post Browne Jacobson TI?

 

[Maddy]

Has anyone received a test invitation for Baker McKenzie's direct Training Contract?

 

[Miss Chocolate]

I am genuinely so confused by SH. The firm has sent ONE email (received yesterday) asking me to complete an assessment by 12th with no information on what to prepare for. For instance, if it has VI questions, I need to know so that I can have the set up ready and yet I have not been provided with additional information so like what am I supposed to do? 😭🤣🥲 Honestly I am super interested in their work but the whole recruitment process has been frustrating so far and given a really bad impression.

Stephenson Harwood, DWF and DLA Piper have the worst graduate recruitment.

I have an AC tomorrow and am really not feeling well. Think I have the flu and have recently lost a family member which has affected my concentration - do you think its worth mentioning to graduate recruitment? I still want to do the AC but not sure if I should mention this prior.

I hope it goes well if you've attended/attending today!

really? my email also says 'Immediately after the interactive assessment, there will be four video interview questions for you to complete. These are standard interview questions that will assess your motivation for applying to the role and why you would be a good fit.'

Out of curiosity - how do the ME TC's work, do you sit the SQE and qualify in England & Wales and then relocate when commencing the TC? Does the firm assist with relocating etc

Well done! If you don't mind me asking, when did you receive an interview invite?
