Just got direct TC AC from Hogan Lovells!!! Anyone done one this/last cycle and have tips? They're one of my top choices so would really appreciate any help
Congrats! Can I ask when you applied and when you took the WGT?
My company uses one of the most popular VI providers (which I think is also used by some law firms) and the feedback we receive from the candidates is always anonymous.
Not sure if the same can be told for the law firm that you applied to, but I would assume so!
really hope so!! is the provider your company uses called Sonru by any chance?
No, I'm afraid but I would honestly imagine all providers would have very similar, if not the same, rules regarding feedback reports.
tbh, I gave simmons and simmons a bad review and I got rejected, not saying there is a correlation but....
Hii! Was just wondering, how long did it take for you to hear back from Simmons after your VI? Thanks so much!!

a week or so
lmao if i get rejected this is what i’ll go with and not the fact that i stuttered my way through the interview
AHHHHHHH I just got my first ever interview... at Jones Day! (Crying while I type, never thought this day would come)
does any one have any extra tips - I know they're quite different to other firms.

For anyone wondering, I applied to Jones Day on the 12th December, Academic Reference request on the 24th December [Referee Sent in on the 2nd January] and I got the interview offer today on the 21st January
I am still waiting... I am guessing it will be a rejection at this point as so many offers have been made.
