    I think it’ll be fine! The deadline is Friday? They should be able to be it sorted out today/tomorrow. And as it’s a tech issue they may be able to give an extension

    Contact the willo team and explain, think there’s a question mark at the bottom of the page if you can see that. If not the email is [email protected]. I would take a screenshot for evidence. You could also email Aman, she responds quite quickly in my experience, [email protected]

    The initial tests are just an SJT and VR (automatic). Then after your application has been reviewed with those test scores, you could be invited to do the job simulation which has SJT, VI and written elements

    I think it’s possible, a lot of people don’t have much legal work experience as it’s hard to get. You might be underselling your experiences. Online gigs are still work experience, and content creation would be great to talk about imo as I think it’s quite a unique experience you’ve had. All...

    It wasn’t last year, but they have a SJT instead of WG this year so it could be different now

    Cleary TC is non-rolling, pretty sure BM say they’re rolling but I feel like they aren’t really compared to other rolling firms. Last year most people heard after the deadline, I applied day before deadline and got through to the VI

    I have definitely felt the same, last year I had 6 post-AC/interview rejections with a lot of feedback about lacking confidence. I started to think I could never be good enough and that made me even more nervous going in. I finally got a VS offer at the end of last year and the main difference...

    I have a low 2.1 (with extenuating circumstances) and got to TI last year. But even without ECs, they just ask for a 2.1 (not high/strong like some firms) so I would still apply
