Can someone (who also does well in WG tests) please treat me as a 3 year old child and explain in very plain English about their understanding of each section of WG and what I should look out for?

I’ve read so much on it and been practicing but I feel so stupid as things are still not clicking.

Hi Amma,

I’m more after commercial awareness/recent developments in the sector!

Hi @Amma Usman just bumping this up!

Is there a point applying to Stephenson Harwood DTC? Does anyone know how many trainees they recruit via that route and if it is rolling or non-rolling? Thanks

Nothing

At least we are all in the same boat! Must just be having delays

Has anyone heard back from WFW post-app? I applied recently, and they were reviewing on a rolling basis, so I am afraid that I may have applied too late.

I believe I know of a couple of people that have gotten TCs through this route at the firm. If a firm wouldn’t recruit many people via that route/ or even one person at all, the portal will close and a notice will be sent out to applicants letting them know.

The way I also like to see situations like this is - for example, even if they are recruiting just one person… it could be you right?

Have that mindset and throw that application in!

As for SH specifically, it says “We review applications on a rolling basis but never make offers to fill all our places before the application deadline.”

Guys, if I close my reed smith assessment before VI (it says I can take a break but I want to do it tomorrow), will it automatically submit? I don’t want my camera to be recording all night until tomorrow
