Tips for updating a CV after a VS offer? Should I add a VS offer/future VS in my CV or no?

Perhaps wait until you know what seats you will be doing? Thats what I am doing at least.

Do it if you're going to be applying somewhere law related before the scheme maybe, otherwise wait till the scheme is done.

Congrats!! May I ask when you completed the VI?

Sure, I completed the VI on 29th Jan!

I just received the invitation to submit a CV for the AS DWF scheme (after second part of app), does it mean that there's a sift before the final interview? 🤔

Also received the same. Got very excited then gutted that they wanted more...

Maybe @Jessica Booker can advise on this?

Two weeks isn’t very long.

You have to be very confident that the vast majority of people have heard back.

Obviously you can chase up, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you just got a “we will come back to you soon” response.

Yea you can add it, but you can’t put any detail behind it - heading alone will be sufficient

Can anyone shed any light on the Wilkie Video Interview? Thank you!

 

[ellensdaleoriginal]

Willkie rejection post VI! Really annoyed as I thought it went well...

 

[els124]

Any further news on Slaughter & May Summer Scheme? I know some heard back yesterday, but is anyone else still waiting? Am non-Law.

I haven't heard either, also non-law. They said end of feb though

Hi! Congrats! How do you know this info btw? And are there 3 dates available to pick one?

The invitation email included 3 dates to choose from/order in preference and stated there were c.30 attendees on each day

 

[AT]

sorry to ask, but when did you apply?

Not directed to me but I applied on the deadline

Just received a video interview invite from Hill Dickinson (post WG, London).
Confused as I thought that after the test stage came the assessment centre.
They've also made me book a slot for my video interview which is unusual. Is it a real person-to-person interview as opposed to an automated one? Does anyone have more information about this?
Thanks!

Hey Calibre X1,

I was wanting to know about your VI with Hill Dickinson if you don't mind me asking, I was wondering what kind of questions did they asked you? Was the interview conducted by partners, trainees or graduate recruitment?

Thank you!

 

[M1999]

yeah that's why i'm getting worried but on the other hand they are probably not sending all 100 invites out at once like realistically

Yeah maybe, but if they give out later wouldn’t we get disadvantaged for having a lesser preference

I suppose and hope that the Rest would be given out tomorrow or by friday the latest so i guess we would get it soon enough to not be at an disadvantage yet....

 

[Lumree]

Osborne Clarke AC - for their Bristol office! Does anyone have any tips, super grateful for any?!

Well done!! I’m still waiting to hear 😬
