Hi everyone,

I would like to share some information on my recent experience with the Recorded video interview at Kennedys.

Firstly, read this post in the knowledge that the information I will share are relative to a TC application.
Secondly, I will be moving forward (and away in this post) from the questions in the written application.
Lastly, use my information as helpful pointers. Be aware the law firm will change those over time, possibly both in format and content.

The format of the video interview was:

Three questions.
Each question can be recorded twice, however if you decide you don't like the first one (meaning you delete the first one and start again), the second recorded answer, is automatically saved and submitted as the final one.
2 minutes time to record the answer.
30 seconds to think about it/prepare.

Good luck.
Hi! applying from 2025 here, what questions did they ask in VI?

Hi, congrats on the AC! Can I ask when you heard back and which office you applied to? I’ve still not heard back from the VI so assuming PFO
Hi, Thank you so much! I heard back around last week, and I applied to the Sheffield Office; how about you? Nah, I do not think you should assume that just yet, looking at the forum, they do send out the next steps in a staggered form
