Just received an invite to Watson Farley & Williams video interview. Finally a step in the right direction, very excited! Has anyone completed a VI with them and know what kind of questions they ask/the format? Would really appreciate any advice - will be my first ever VI!

Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

For those asking whether it’s still worth applying to BCLP vs, I applied the day before the deadline last year and was invited to ac. Although I think the gr team has changed quite a bit, Id say still give it a go! Also, does anyone have any tips for the Simmons judgment test? I failed it last...

Rejection from BCLP earlier today, bit disappointed as I reached ac last year and really like the firm but it wasn’t meant to be. On to the next! Hope those still waiting receive better news :)

Sorry Judy only just seen this. I was slightly confused about this too but mine allowed me to save it all so I hope it hasn't cut any off! Think mine was about 244 words.

Cover letters

Hi @Jessica Booker, if I'm addressing a cover letter 'Dear Graduate Recruitment' should I sign off with 'Yours sincerely' or 'Yours faithfully'? Thanks in advance

Hi, I asked graduate recruitment and it seems you can still complete the wg test after the deadline, as long as you submitted your application before the deadline. Hope that helps :)

DLA Piper - what to include?

Hey, your cv is where you can mention your work experience and extra curricular. I think the other docs they refer to is for mitigating circumstances etc. They don’t directly ask why the firm at application stage, guess that will tested more during an ac. Hope that helps :)
