OMG GUYS! Just got my first ever progression beyond application/ test stage for Simmons & Simmons!

Got rejected last year so I am so excited.

The next stage- video inteview/ test and written exercise seems really complicated. Can anyone who has done it before please give me some advice?How long are each video interview question?

Sorry to be one of those annoying ones but when did you send your application? I sent mine last night so would be nice to know a rough time frame where I might hear back haha

Thanks so much. This has made it slightly less demoralising to keep going!!

Last week! I sent it on the 21st to be exact. So very quick turnaround!

It's so nice when you start progressing past application stage and know you're doing something right! Keep the positive energy going for your next ones and good luck for the tests for Simmons!

Guys has anyone heard from A&O yet about winter vac? I know there's a lot of confusion regarding rolling/ non-rolling

Someone above said they've been invited to an AC

PFO from Simmons Winter Vac (after doing the SJT). Submitted last week (I think Thu) so I'm impressed with the turnaround

Has anyone done the WG for DLA Piper? Do you get your results straight away or do you have to ask?

Latham is open, is it rolling?

Clyde & Co opened their VS applications today. There seem to be no questions for their Winter Scheme, only grades and work experience?
i'm confused

If you scroll down the bottom of this page where it states the application process, seems like they've implemented a new video version of application questions??

@OB is right! Within Hints and Tips on this page it states 'Following your online application, you will be required to submit a short video interview that focuses on motivation for the role, and what you can bring to the firm'

Has anyone started to hear back from A&O? I emailed GR last week in relation to rolling/non-rolling still no response?

Apparently one person has but apart from that I think it is radio silence for most!

 

[hopefullawyer101]

Does anyone have any tips for preparing for short video interviews? I have no idea where to begin

I just heard from someone who got a PFO from A&O for the winter VC following the SJT. So they’re definitely rolling basis.

Thanks for letting us know. Was that today? How long after the SJT was it?

I applied on the day it opened and I've heard nothing

Thank you so much!! That makes sense now.
