Cooley
Hello Frank, I attended an open day at the firm and graduate recruitment called it a ‘critical thinking test’, so not quite the WG, but a very similar format. Hope this helps!- Zsaurcaks1

Simmons and Simmons Vac scheme question
No worries! For the work experience section I spoke about what I did- from the advice on TCLA it seems that graduate recruitment can infer what skills you developed. Good luck with your app!- Zsaurcaks1

Simmons and Simmons Vac scheme question
I incorporated them into the narrative. So I’d talk about what my role entailed and what skill that helped me develop. I find that grouping your experiences together and then drawing out the key skills across them is quite effective (at least this has worked for me in the past!)- Zsaurcaks1

Simmons and Simmons Vac scheme question
Hey! I got to video interview this year and my answer had a range of examples (I.e. positions of responsibility at university, volunteering, other roles). I did include a couple of lines about what skills the activities helped me develop, but led mostly with the examples. Hope this helps!- Zsaurcaks1

Hey! They won’t release your individual feedback report, but you do receive your raw and percentile score (emailed yesterday about the same thing). Hope that helps!- Zsaurcaks1

Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
Hi Jessica, Thanks for all your help so far. A firm I’m applying to stresses the importance of taking ownership for your work- I’m trying to weave in examples of this, but struggling with what this actually means- is this where you’ve led a team for example and been accountable for the team...- Zsaurcaks1
