Just got through to the critical thinking test for DAC Beachcroft. Does anyone know if this is automatic after the VI or not?
Also does anyone know about the next stages? Apparently there’s a written exercise before the AC?

Hi I don't think it is automatic. Also I wonder if the WE is not just part of the AC but needs to be done before? because they mention the WE as being part of the final stage
So their process is app -> VI -> WG -> WE -> AC -> VS -> TC? I thought W&C was the only one to have 100 hoops to jump through lmao. Firms are asking for too much these days ngl. 
Yes, just a few minutes ago. Thank you!
Received a PFO from travers which really hit me cos was lowkey my dream firm. For anyone that got through, if you dont mind showing your CL. Might have to start prepping for WVS cycle cos I'm slowly losing hope now. Kinda sucks since I wanted some sense of job security before I graduate. If anyone has any knowledge of any paralegal roles for non-law students (they always ask for a law degree) let me know.
thank you so much!! i applied on the 19th of january
I feel you cos I lowkey thought I’d cooked with my cover letter for Travers Smith. Went to their insight evening in London, AS Aspire masterclass series, AS RG VDLF, legal cheek law fair booth, etc.
So that PFO hit but with this process, I’ve learned that it only ever takes one yes. The right firm for us will make us a VS/TC offer! Wishing the best for everyone with firms left to hear from this cycle!

I got one too.
I'm sightly suspicious that it's automatic - did anyone who did the VI NOT get a WG?
I believe someone has answered this so I apologise in advance but does anyone know if Hogan Lovells read your app before sending job sim? My app was for DTC which I did ages ago and I'm ngl I just looked back at it - to say the least it was not strong

depends on the firm but i had this at a firm in my last cycle but it was a negotiation task between two groups of 3, my group had a girl who was talkiing a lot and the other group had a guy doing the exact same. i accc got super annoyed during the task and just spoke very little because i really felt the associates in the room should have said something but they never did ( i was told they would be observing and ask a few questions here and there but they will speak if they think someone is dominating). Because they didnt say anything i thought theyd think the two loud ones done well so was very put off.
In the end i got my feedback and i could acc see they picked up on those people being annoying (sorry not sorry they annoyed me hella lol), they actually age me great feedback on the task. said i spoke when needed and ensured i added useful contributions. That and a few other comments made me feel like they realised the other two people were doing the opposite. I also know those two did not get an offer so that should say enough!!!!
litch attended all those events too. Only have 5 more firms to hear from. All I can ask for is both prayers and luck atpI feel you cos I lowkey thought I’d cooked with my cover letter for Travers Smith. Went to their insight evening in London, AS Aspire masterclass series, AS RG VDLF, legal cheek law fair booth, etc.
