[eleanor.teh]

Hi, how long after completing the first online test (that is automatic), did it take for you to receive the invite to the job sim?

One day

Hi, does anyone who completed the Macfarlanes second online assessment have any advice at all about it? I'm so confused and nervous and would really appreciate anything that could help me mentally prepare a bit more.

I just progressed to the second assessment for Macfarlanes (the job simulation one). If anyone has advice about how to approach that I would be very grateful! I don't know if they just introduced it this year and it confusingly says it is both timed and not timed.

Congratulations for progressing!! That's v exciting hehe.

I have just been invited to complete the second assessment as well and was wondering if you'd be able to share some tips on it/what to expect. Are the video responses to SJT questions or are there also some motivational or strengths based questions. I would rly appreciate the help!

Thanks,
T

I'm just completed it. It's an online trainee simulation, basically a mixture of video response, writing, and SJT. The video responses are timed, but not for anything else. There are also some motivational video questions. I messed up quite a few questions unfortunately so don't think I'll be getting it

I think just remember to review all the resources they give you, don't panic when it's timed, and just absorb and analyse what you can.

Hi there, can I ask what was the content regarding the written questions? Thanks, and good luck with your application, I hear lots of people feel they messed up and end up getting through so try not to stress!

Hi, could you please elaborate on the motivational questions and whether there were any on commercial awareness? Will be very much appreciated!

So does that mean if we’ve heard nothing after the initial application , we haven’t progressed, or do they let us know?

Hi, I've applied for DTC and completed the Simulate assessment 8 days ago and have only received the feedback report. Does this mean I got rejected or do they send out a rejection email. Thank you

I've recently completed mine, haven't yet received the feedback report though, was it any useful? Which practice areas interest you most? I'm into private client work, so my next stop is Forsters, currently working on the application.
