Hi! I just wanted to check whether the first test for womble bond dickinson is a situational judgment test or a different type of assessment, and to confirm whether it is actually 5 minutes long as stated. Thanks!

No, yes

That would be great because I added in bits about myself and also about the firm's deals. LMAO Hi: https://vimeo.com/1142361085?fl=pl&fe=vl - at around 12minutes (although, I don't think it's a blunder if you do, or at least I hope it's not)

Not this being firm #8 which I’ve seen referenced by people… I know the journalists at RollOnFriday are having the time of their life compiling that list of firms mentioned

Last year mine was a client bulletin summarising news articles about private equity for a variety of clients in the sector. Can’t really remember what the articles were about but they were quite recent to the time of me doing the WE.

I didn’t get the VS due to my interview but I was told my WE was exactly what they were looking for. I used subheadings and bullet points, I’m pretty sure I explained the impacts of the articles on the types of clients, and I brought in some of my commercial knowledge (I somehow remember Elon Musk’s Twitter debt being relevant?)

I knew nothing about private equity and struggled so much lol. Somehow did well.

thank you thank you thank you bless you!!!!! taking it tomorrow morning

I applied the week of the deadline and have yet to hear back post completing their test. I've not heard of anybody else who has been brought to the next stage yet either but that's not to say they haven't.
