    Our assessment centre consists of five components: a written exercise, a small group task, a large group task, an oral presentation, and an interview. It’s gonna be half day - 5 to 6 hours I guess. Not sure about start and end time but should be around 10ish to 4-5ish including a lunch break or...

    ahh I’m sorry :( Wait, you can’t apply to withers again if they reject you in a cycle or is it more like an unsaid fact? I did the test on 3rd march and haven’t heard back, expecting a pfo soon I guess :( I got - Strengths - relationship builder and explainer Weakness - initiative

    I think they were reviewing applications as they were coming in but didn’t make any final decisions until deadline day to give all applicants a chance before shortlisting but I also hope they didn’t get too many apps😂

    I completely agree and came here to write this! I understand it’s hard to get a tc but we should celebrate everyone’s achievements and we all will get there eventually. I don’t think not doing the vac scheme is good advise at all. @lawgal1908 you have worked hard to get this and you should do...

    Sorry about this :(. If you don’t mind me asking when did u do the test? On your point, I think it depends from firm to firm and loads of people progress without any legal experience in some firms and some firms may require legal experience! It’s worth a shot to apply anyways.

    Hi, this is completely normal :) I have seen this - associates in the team would have told your trainee buddy to give you some tasks so you get a good experience and have sufficient work to do because associates sometimes don’t have such tasks at hand which they can give to vac schemers due to...

    This is extremely harsh especially because you weren’t even asked a question directly in relation to this and seems to me like you indirectly prove your commitment in your answers :( Really scared now as an international student myself! You are clearly a great candidate and I’m sure you’ll get...

    Hi all, sorry if this has already been asked - do you get a feedback report after the Mayer brown automatic SJT/verbal reasoning test? I gave the test just now but didn’t receive the report so I’m assuming it takes a day or two to receive it?
