    Guys, for Mishcon, you can't view applications once submitted and I forgot to save a copy to my computer: So I emailed graduate recruitment and requested a copy but someone in the early talents team told me to sign into the portal and access details when I obviously cannot gain access to it...

    Yesss that's something I picked up on during the STAR practice today. I don't focus on T and A (challenge/action) as much as I need to. So thank you for emphasising that. I don't know if other candidates struggle with it too, but I find it quite difficult to follow it in a structured way. I...

    Very true. 😭😂 Thank you for sharing that. Tbf I have always assumed that I should stay away from examples that may be too "negative" or "real" because I don't want the interviewer to get a bad impression or develop a bias. I also worry that they may think I am the sort of worker to leave a...

    I am a shtty liar, okay? 😂😂 Also, when I said I make up stuff, I mean I spice up existing experiences 😂😂 Can't really say a time I disagreed with someone was the time when my toxic retail manager was lowkey manipulative and psycho, now can I? 😭 So I like to go on a daydream exercise where I...

    @axelbeugre Please could I quickly get your opinion on this. I did a practice interview with someone from my uni's careers service and I explained that sometimes I exaggerate or make up examples for STAR answers and she said it's best to respond with "haven't been in that situation, but a...

    Guys, is anyone able to access their Mishcon application after submission? I can't. I forgot to save a copy. Should I email graduate recruitment and request a copy of my application? I want to go through it in preparation for the interview.

    Can someone please tell me if I am being inefficient but I have just made a list (it's still growing thicccc) and I have like 50 questions the CRS VI could include. Then, I have to draft rough responses that I know won't take me longer than 60-90 seconds to say. I will be honest usually I wing...

    yesss I know 😭 at least for Bristows there are two more interviews. CRS does 90 second answers (5 questions) and they decide based on that whether you get a VS or not. Wild

    Just about to record my VI for Bristows. What kind of commercial awareness questions do you think a firm can ask given the answers are like 60 seconds long 😭

    Does anyone know if the CRS VI is reviewed by partners or graduate recruitment? I know for Bristows it's partners.

    Is anyone else getting worried about fking up the interviews and thinking of making more back-up applications just out of desperation? I don't strictly have the time but also I am not sure how my VIs are going to be next week :/

    it's the "palpable" for me. I would have promoted you straight to partner if I was reviewing your application.

    One more question re CRS. On their application form, I submitted first preference for the spring scheme and left second preference blank as it's very likely I won't be in the UK during the summer. Is this something that's likely to impact the outcome of my application post VI?
