    Hi all- I’m about to submit my Reed Smith application. The FAQs state they permit AI to be used to help in the application form (which I’ve taken advantage of), with the usual caveats. But at the end of the form, they have a box to tick to confirm your responses are free from ‘any influence or...

    If you complete your VI on Christmas Day, are you allowed to wear a Santa hat? Asking for a friend. On a serious note, Merry Christmas everyone!

    Today marks 3 months since I applied to BCLP for their Spring Vac (first app of the cycle). Haven’t heard back after test. Please send me my PFO already. 😅

    I knew they would consider it but when you’re nervous about answering, a fixed time limit is helpful as it gives you no choice and you have to just go for it. This one was a choice of balancing quality and time, and I think I didn’t take the time thing as seriously…

    To be honest I’m happy with my answers but I did take full advantage of the unlimited (but not untimed) prep time, and worried I took way too long on each question.

    Thank you for answering questions on the forum! @ReedSmithBecca would you still encourage applicants who are looking to apply to Reed Smith this close to the deadline?

    I heard back yesterday and have been invited to a voice interview, but then I did apply back in October and did the test in November. Just be aware that they only give you 72 hours to complete the VI.

    Just to bring this back. Any advice for the time to take for preparation on a VI where there is no limit? Is 15 minutes ok for each question? Just thinking of that as a maximum.

    Hey all, how do you approach video interviews with no time limit for the preparation of each question? Is 15-mins thinking about each question before answering probably a good balance? I notice the firm say no time limit, but not that the preparation period is untimed. Thank you!

    There’s been some VIs for regional offices on here but not heard anyone say anything about London yet, except some PFOs very quickly after the deadline.

    Yeah most people will be talking about Spring on here, for which the deadline has already passed. Summer is fine.

    Yeah. I saw someone had heard back on here but I think it’s not very many so far? Just wondering if I was wrong about that.
