    Hi @Abbie Whitlock do you have any advice on how to prepare for the Travers Smith interview for the VS. Specifically the commercial topic discussion section? They mentioned during the call that its like a debate. What are your tips on preparing for something like that. Thank you!

    Congrats,. I see they're still reviewing DTC. I am wondering about the VS interview, could you ask them on D-Day? I summon @Afraz Akhtar, he might give some insights as a future trainee there. Good luck!

    Travers says candidates with a disability who 'meet the minimum criteria for the role' will be invited to interview. Do they mean grade requirements? Or are there other minimum requirements they may be referring to, e.g. work experience etc?

    Has anyone heard back from these firms - Fieldfisher (post telephone interview), Travers Smith and Browne Jacobson? I am a little concerned as I thought my telephone interview with Fieldfisher went well and would hear back regarding AC start of this month but got no reply yet. The other 2 firms...

    I don’t want to derail VS discussions, but I don’t see that on Travers’ website, do you have a reference for that? The Disability Confident Scheme (DCS) more generally doesn’t necessarily include the guaranteed interview process. A lot of firms are part of the DCS but only a few specify that...

    No, you can't in any stages. I said you CAN reapply if PREVIOUS cycle you reached AC, but failed. Usually firms won't consider your app if you ever reached into AC/final interview stage like Greenberg, Travers Smith, FF, etc.

    Employers often don't state that, but that's how the scheme operates in practice. I've recruited using a GIS scheme. The 400 applicants was an example, but even if 200 or 100 applicants met the minimum criteria, employers can use a fair method to further whittle down the shortlist if it's not...
