Is there a VI element to Baker's test?

There was last year yes

Eversheds is out there handing out ACs and vacation schemes like party favours, and here I am, glued to my email, waiting for a peep from them.

Seriously Eversheds, this silent treatment is not very nice of you - I know I’m not good at video interviews but give me a chance

Hello guys,

I am answering this question " Providing an exceptional client service is at the core of everything we do, please provide an example of a time you have delivered exceptional client service". Should I mention how my client service skills will help me succeed, as a trainee, at the firm? @axelbeugre and @Jessica Booker do you have any tips?

Any tips for a Latham AC?

Any advice for Ashurst’s written case please?

You’ve only got an hour so I would say just be conscious of timing. That was my main struggle.

hi can i ask if this is for spring or summer and when did you receive your invite?

 

[lawtrainee]

Did anyone receive Latham AC invites this week for spring and didn’t go to either an open day or insight scheme (like or dislike)

Has anyone heard back from DLA Piper Dubai?

I just completed the Reed Smith assessment and got the feedback report which was better than I anticipated (I was really nervous) BUT for the first two questions in the VI my laptop was glitching. I realized it was because my laptop was full so I unplugged my laptop but I am worried that when they watch the first two back, it won't be clear enough. Shall i email recruitment or leave it and just pray for the best? @Jessica Booker @axelbeugre

I personally would leave, I am sure they can see you and everything was fine. I would email them only if your laptop crashed during the assessment which does not seem to be the case. I am sure that everything is fine!

I'm a bit worried about W&C because it's meant to be rolling, and I haven't heard anything back from them. Anyone on the same boat?

Any tips for a Latham AC?

they treat it like a convo (including the presentation aspect to a certain extent) but just structure your answers well and you'll be calm still -- I enjoyed it -- but just bear in mind I haven't heard back yet so that could also be dead advice

The Paul Hastings expectations slide 😂 Absolute classic

What is that? And where could I find it?😅

I actually just emailed them to ask that, will let you know what they say!

+1 please let me know too! Thanks for emailing

Would love to know this too!

I asked if they're at capacity but they said they're reviewing all applications submitted before the deadline, so they're still considering them and that I should apply!
