Holy moly, VI from V&E as well. Been a busy day!!
Need to brush up my VI technique!
Need to brush up my VI technique!
You get 3 questions (generated from a random question bank: competency, motivation, commercial), 15 seconds to prep, 90 seconds to answer and you cannot re-record! You're also given 1 practice question.Do you remember how long you get to prepare each answer for the W&C video interview?
I have not received a VI yet, but this is what they told us on the first year insight scheme and (I think) it is on their website.
Got a VI invite for V&E!!! This is the first application this cycle where I've gotten through to the next stage and I honestly didn't expect it!!! Last year I did a VI for Simmons & Simmons and it didn't go well so I would really appreciate any advice for VI in general and if anyone has any advice for completing a VI for V&E that would also be really helpful! 😁
It should only be 2 questions from what I remember. Not sure if I'm allowed to actually tell you what they are on this forum, but expect very basic interview questions that you'd expect to be asked at any interview.
Just got an AC offer from Taylor Wessing via a phone call, so they must be starting to get back to people now!
Congratulations! When did you apply/do the Arctic Shores game if you don't mind me asking?
VI from V&E as well! Has anyone experienced it before? Quite nervous since its only 3 questions but 15 minutes!!
Sent my app on January 1st, recieved the Artic Shores invite on the 8th which I then took on the 16th
)
I was having a nosey at what happened last year and apparently you could record and re-record as much as you wanted! Unsure if it’ll be the same this year
Vinson & Elkins Video interview invite!!!! (applied 15/1) As this is one of my top firms, if anyone has any tips, I'm all ears
I applied on 12/11/20 and put spring as my first choice, summer as my second choice! Received VI invitation on 29/01/21
Has anyone heard back from Simmons after VI/tests?
