    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I got this too and I applied for Shoosmiths London office. Wondering if anyone else got VI's for the London office for the placement (as I thought Shoosmiths could just be recruiting less for London as it is a smaller office?) :oops:

    Does anyone know whether DWF recruits trainees from the vacation scheme only, or do you think they consider people after the vac scheme?

    Thank you that is helpful!!! I've had VIs where you have like 15 second think time and I'm just there stuttering lmao. May I ask if they were more competency based questions and why the firm, or are there also commercial awareness qs?

    Well done you guys who have already done the tests! Achievement in itself as they seem very intense! I was wondering if you could share what the video interview section was like - was it long/what sort of questions did they ask?

    Bristows video interview

    Hi there, I did a VI at Bristows for the IP workshop a few months ago. I would interpret the deadline as midnight on Sunday. I was asked questions about skills I have developed to be a solicitor, career motivations and why the worshop etc. Hope that helps and good luck! :)

    Watson Farley & Williams Video Interview

    Good luck!!! I am sure you will do great :) I wanted to ask if your competency questions were generally about your motivations for law/the firm or more 'tell me a time when..'. Always hate video interviews because of the timed aspect! Any advice would be really appreciated!
