Still waiting on Arnold & Porter vac scheme application. I got a final TC interview with them last year, and they said I did a really good interview (though I didn't get it) so I'll be super disappointed if this delay means I've been rejected outright.
So am I (minus the TC interview, I didn't get the vac scheme AC last year- so well done!). If you remember, when did they start sending out vac scheme interviews last year?

I am waiting as well. Did you do a vac scheme with them last year or did you have a direct TC interview?

Does anyone have any advice on answering 'Tell us about yourself' on an application? It's got a 150-word limit and I'm not sure how to fill it.

    Has anyone done the BLM video interview? Would just like to know what the format is (how much time to record an answer)? I saw there are NINE questions? :O I've not come across a VI with that many questions before, so any advice would be truly appreciated! 😊

    My approach would be “What do you want to tell the firm that explains something about your character that isn’t obvious from the other information you have provided”.

    Yeah there’s 9 questions I’d say strength based and competency based ones too
