    If you get asked in an interview which other firms you have applied to, should you just list one or two? Or should you list all of the others you’ve applied to?

    If you’re asked in an interview to discuss a deal or commercial story that has interested you, how recent does it have to be? Can I talk about a story that interested me from about October/November?

    No they review your application completely before sending WG. They then review your application & WG further in combination to decide whether to send a video interview :)

    A&O are rolling so I completed an AC with them in mid November. I wouldn’t worry if you haven’t heard yet- I’ve heard lots of people have been rejected and lots have been given offers, so you might just be in a maybe pile or they might still be reviewing your app

    Hi, I talked about the skills in general relevant to a commercial solicitor, but tried to link them to the firm wherever possible (I think I linked one of the skills to the firm, but the other two were more general). Hope that helps!

    Does anyone know how long after sending the initial WG invite email Bakers send the actual link to the test? I got an invite yesterday and it said details would be sent in a few days but I’m wondering if anyone could let me know how long it took for them to receive these details?
