One minute?! I just did one where I had two minutes to speak and it felt like nothing... that's crazy!
I had only thirty seconds to prepare though which was pretty brutal - felt like 5 seconds lol
ES VI completed!! Was a bit nervous for the first question and almost ran out of time so didn't get to say everything I planned, but the next questions (situational questions) went really well. Good luck to everyone else! It was not as bad as I thought :)
As someone who doesn’t really know/interact with many other people who are either applying for vacation schemes or are willing to talk about their experiences, this forum has been incredibly useful. It’s great to get more insight into other people’s current stages in applications, but it is also...
Omg yay!! So happy for you!! Good luck, I was planning to do mine today but will do it tomorrow morning as I feel like I need more time to prep. Another member emphasised that it is mostly strengths-based so ensure you prepare for these questions more than the typical ‘why law’.
Honestly it really does seem to be a numbers game - you are clearly very qualified and a desirable candidate, but unfortunately, there will always be someone who went to one more event than you did, or got one mark higher in a module than you, or someone mentioned something in an interview that...

So sorry to hear❤️ it sucks so much I know. My Simmons rejection made me want to give up because I thought it was definitely my best application and I had made so much effort attending in-person events and networking. Just remember all it takes is one yes, keep applying and you will get a VS...
Wishing you good luck!! I’m not sure when people started receiving invites, but I just received mine 20 minutes ago so I assume they are trickling them out
Omg yay!! This is the first time I’ve progressed to this stage of an application! Super happy🥺❤️
Just to add, I was really convinced I would get a PFO after completing the WG. Very pleasantly surprised!
