Is this for VS? I applied for the direct TC but have been waiting since December (post-test)!Yes! One spot the 17th
Yay congrats! when did you complete the tests?Yes! One spot the 17th
It’s actually both.Quick question for anyone with experience with Vero (background checks). Do they use the work experience section as part of the application as the starting point to know who to contact/breakdown of your responsibilities or do you give them a separate breakdown? Asking because I made a small mistake regarding dates in my work experience section (regarding the year of the work experience, not duration) and am a little scared this might be an issue. @Jessica Booker would you have any thoughts on this? Thank you!

yes for the vac scheme and I received the feedback report on the 16th of JanYay congrats! when did you complete the tests?
It’s generally graduate recruitment deciding who is invited to AC. Sometimes there are a small panel of associates or partners who may screen applications, but this is rare. Even in those circumstances, it’s unlikely the people who invited you will be the people who interview/assess you.Hey! sorry for being unclear, I guess I'm just wondering how they are generally assessed, is it the interviewers choosing who to invite? Do they communicate with grad rec who decides? Are the written application and psychometric tests considered? How does the written assessment factor in etc. I guess I'd just like to know a bit more about the process of evaluating candidates. Thank you!
It really doesn’t work like this, and I would strongly advise not to factor this into your decision making. Most firms have had decades of applicants trying to game the system and apply to what they perceive to be less popular locations, and then try to move to another location at either offer stage or even during a TC/upon qualification. It more often than not doesn’t work.Strategically speaking, is it better to apply to the London office or other regional office of a firm for better chances at a TC? Regional offices have less vacancies but I assume they have less applicants as well.
I emailed them earlier this week and they said they'd finish reviewing Cardiff VIs by Friday. Not sure whether that also means we'll defo hear back by the end of tomorrowIs anyone waiting to hear back from Eversheds for the Cardiff Office?
fyi I've heard back and they've rejected meGuys I have still not heard from Latham and their deadline was 2nd January and applied on new year eve. Do you lot think I should email them about an update on my application or is it early. I am asking as I have never had experience with Latham application and when is the last VI they send out.
Perhaps there is still hope! Hope you hear back with good news soon!I think they're primarily interviewing for spring VS atm. I did my 2nd round there about 3.5 weeks ago (spring VS) and haven't heard back.
yesIn a competency interview, can I talk about something I did in a job that I haven’t put in my work experience section?
I am so happy for you @summer207! What a show- very, very well deserved!I want to thank everyone on the forum for the support they have provided over this cycle, especially @James Carrabino and @AvniD for the AC tips they gave me last week. Also, to the many people who have replied my DMs and quoted my posts with the most encouraging words, I really appreciate it. I heard back from Weil today and was offered a VS. I also heard back from Baker McKenzie last week with a Spring VS offer. This time last week, I was crying because I had been rejected from a final round interview (non-VS related) so things can always turnaround. That's the end of the application cycle for me! I applied to 6 firms, received 4 rejections and 2 ACs.
I'd appreciate if anyone can link me to any forums related to converting a VS to a TC. If anyone has an upcoming AC with Bakers for Summer VS or an AC with Weil, feel free to message me and I will do my best to help!
Please do keep us in the loop and tag us in your posts here on the forum if we can help with anything- we'd love to be there to support you as you manage your many priorities and go through the application process! Wishing you the very best.For sure! Totally agree with your point. I think it's simply because at the moment, I'm studying my MA, working two jobs whilst looking for another because I need a job change, and just trying to keep on top of everything. Very overwhelming, but just taking my time with applications!
Of course! Though be prepared to answer why you didn't include it in your work experience- they may be curious about this.In a competency interview, can I talk about something I did in a job that I haven’t put in my work experience section?
