Did anyone else lag and glitch a lot when doing Ashurst's online tests (Revelian)? It's been consuming 90% of my CPU and overheating my computer I've never encountered anything like this before.

Hi guys, any tips for a VC interview at Shearman & Sterling? It was the first application I sent out, so this will also be my very first interview ever. Safe to say that I am excited, but also extremely nervous

Shearman is a lovely interview I think; I found it quite relaxed
I would say know the challenges facing law firms and follow a commercial story you can discuss confidently, I’d also say really do your research into the firm and know precisely how they’re different. The White Board Wednesday’s (and these in and of themselves are a differentiator- thought leadership doesn’t just apply to client-driven articles!!) can help with this and YouTube the legal cheek event they had last year about US firms’ market share as that was so useful to me. I would say be personable and try to show your confidence and enthusiasm as much as possible. I really think the interview is enjoyable and so long as you prepare the basics and know your own motivations etc inside and out you’ll be absolutely fine! Please message me if I can help further and we can have a chat just remember, you’ve done the hard part which is selling yourself on paper, this is the final step and really try to enjoy the experience
you’re at no disadvantage with it being your first interview. Shearman was actually my second but was just days after my first and I think they just want to get an impression for who you are and what you’re all about well done again!!
No, I they specifically do not like this. why not just put [NRf] in brackets after the first use of the full name and use it from there onwards
Yes, I applied on 16 October, passed the SJT on 19 October and received a rejection on 18 November.
I applied for a direct TC.

Hi, has anyone got any tips/advice for CMS' assessment day or Jones Day's interview?This is my first ever VAC Scheme interview after years of applying! I'm really excited but nervous as I just don't know what to expect. Any tips would be appreciated - feel free to pm me.
Is it just me or is there a big waiting game this time round for firms? lol
No problem!! Feel free to ask if you have any more questions or need clarification on the various parts of the dayThank you so much!
Thanks for the heads up about the structure of the AC, it is definitely really helpful
