Nothing from Hogan Lovells since completing their WG IN jANUARY
I emailed them today but have not received a reply from them yet.Yeah - I'm in the same boat. Was wondering what to do
same boat!Hi all,
i interviewed with mofo nearly two months back - has anyone heard back with vac scheme offers?
I'd personally suggest picking something more related to the work the firm does in that office, just because there could be a slight question as to why you are considering that location over others.I was writing my application to Foot Anstey's Exeter office and one of the questions asks: 'Identify a current commercial issue which has attracted your attention. Please explain why you have identified this and how you consider it to be significant to Foot Anstey? (max. 400w)'
I have a really interesting idea to discuss which would fall under the Energy & Infrastructure sector. It is one of the firm's core sectors, but not when it comes to their Exeter office.
Should I still write about it or should I pick something applicable to the office I am interested in?
If it is two months, I would call the firm and ask for an update even if it just to tell you when you will hear back.Hi all,

You definitely could!How to answer the question 'how have you shown flexibility'? Would I use STAR for this?
If it's a sector that the Exeter office does at least some work in, even if it isn't a 'core' sector, I don't see why it would be a problem if you wrote/spoke about it. Ultimately, if you feel more comfortable picking a commercial issue that better relates to the Exeter office's core sectors, the you could go down that route too. Just ensure that you're able to write a good quality answer even with the new commercial issue you pick.I was writing my application to Foot Anstey's Exeter office and one of the questions asks: 'Identify a current commercial issue which has attracted your attention.

Thank you Jessica. Yes of course, fortunately I have been in touch since, am just curious whether any offers have been made.If it is two months, I would call the firm and ask for an update even if it just to tell you when you will hear back.
OMG I am speechless! i passed a verbal reasoning test for the first time ever and I have been invited to the next stage!
I had to work so hard to manage my dyslexia! I need to answer a number of questions and it would be amazing if I could get your help @James Carrabino @AvniD @George Maxwell and @Jessica Booker.
1)Why law at Sky? I would like to focus on their work and why I am interested in the media and especially media & law. Plus the fact that it is a big in-house team and the learning opportunities are endless and their diversity.
2) Tell us about a skill you have gained outside of your studies that you would bring to the role? I believe I should research their skills and then link back to the role. For example, in my spare time I exercise and learnt to be resilient and organised. As a trainee....
3) Tell us about a topic which you find interesting? Can i speak about my passion for country music and especially dolly parton? Or should I mention something more business focused? Or can I talk about a recent article I read? The article was written by a journalist who was adopted at a young age and her daughter was her first biological connection and she found her identity. I was adopted and always wanted to discuss the topic of identity.
Congratulations- very well done! 👏 👏 👏 Including my thoughts to your questions below-Sorry I have not been clear,
I think, in relation to the second question that I should link back to the role of a trainee. For example, I exercise a lot..this requires resilience and organisation and as a trainee etc..
I am a bit struggling when it comes to the 3rd question "a topic which interests me" Can I talk about anything? How should I structure my answer?
Plus, @Jessica Booker can I get in touch with the trainees on LinkedIn and ask them a few questions?
I think you can pick any as long as you're able to identify how such innovation will help in providing excellent service to the firm's clients. Highlight the link between the innovation + client service (this goes beyond just legal advice) and you should be good.Hi guys,
Happy Monday!!!!
Just overthinking this question: Question: Weightmans has an award-winning innovation team. How do you think technological innovations can continue to assist with providing this excellent service to our clients?
Would you say this question is asking about existing technological innovations at Weightmans or suggesting new tech innovations that can be implemented?
Many thanks,
I am struggling with this.@people who get v high Watson Glaser percentiles -- would anyone be willing to share how you manage to do well? I've done the free online practices and seen the thread on TCLA but its just not quite working. Wondering if anyone has any particularly helpful resources? Would be much appreciated. hope everyone's well.
jobtestprep was my goat (though you do have to pay💰). i paid for the shortest subscription, and downloaded all the pdf resources (helpful!), so i could still refer back to them once my subscription ended.@people who get v high Watson Glaser percentiles -- would anyone be willing to share how you manage to do well?

I have been thinking the same thing! Not sure which angle to approach the question from… does anyone have any suggestions?Hi guys,

I don't get high on them but I have improved my score using the 'Critical Thinking Tests: Understanding Critical Thinking Skills, And How To Pass Critical Thinking Tests' book from Amazon (someone else recommended it on here so I brought it and it really helped)@people who get v high Watson Glaser percentiles -- would anyone be willing to share how you manage to do well?
