Has anyone recently completed the Eversheds VI? If so, any advice on the theme of the questions (i.e. strengths-based or competency) or tips on how best to prepare would be really appreciated!

Hi @Sophh182!

So unfortunately I did not interview with Eversheds.

There also does not seem to be much on the forum from others who have gone through their video interview this year.

However, I can try to help with some more general VI tips!

  1. This is a great thread to check out started by @Alice G
  2. A post with information about TCLA's VI simulator
  3. TCLA's guide to video interviews
  4. @Jessica Booker's tips and guidance regarding deadlines
  5. @LEL's tips
  6. Another compiled guide to VIs
  7. @Dheepa's tips
If you do progress (which I hope you do!), this is an account written by someone about their Partner interview experience!

I hope that helps! Please do let me know how it goes!

As always, I am more than happy to answer any follow-ups 🚀
