Invite to Gowling VI!

Can I ask when you applied/did your Arctic Shores test?

Hey @Cynthia14,

I suggested some tips to someone who asked the same question here: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....ns-discussion-thread-2023-24.8037/post-155771, I hope this helps you too!

thanks !

Hi I've got the VI coming up! How did you find it? Do you have any tips you'd recommend? Would be very grateful for any advice!

Hey it was a strengths-based interview but I have to say the questions were kinda weird. Unfortunately I don't remember them anymore. I do remember that you had 2 minutes to answer

Good luck!

Any have tips for the BCLP AC? Wondering how the day is structured, what exercises you do and if there is an interview at the end? Thanks

Jones Day invite to first round interview

Hi! When did you apply?

 

[badmintonflyinginsect]

Happened to me with BCLP! Emailed them the same day that I got the open day invite (which was for February 2023) and they offered to put me onto the next open day (tomorrow!). I communicated how much I liked the firm and I think it resonated with grad rec so definitely show your enthusiasm for wanting to attend

Done! Thank you so much. Do you reckon rejecting a firm's Open Day invite will put me at a disadvantage when I apply for their Vac Scheme?

Received email a day after completing Akin test that I did not pass the minimum requirement. What is that? Most of the test was behavioral/SJT.
