Jokes aside, I don’t have many tips cos I’ve found these VIs are all either hit or miss for me. As for whether I look at the camera or at myself:

secretly bro's behind the camera like

Weil and Skadden

bros out here collecting the V10 like Infinity Stones

 

[Donuttime]

Weil and Skadden

Do you do a mix of TI and VI or mainly TI as I saw you say you did TI as an adjustment

[Legal12345]

any advice on how to relate a current affairs issue e.g. Trump's tariffs to a firm and its clients for an upcoming AC?

 

[l789]

I am currently on my fourth rejection post assessment centre (US Law firms). I have no issue making it past first round interviews but this is now my fourth rejection post AC - and I have nothing to show for myself.

Where do I go from here. Is it time to call it quits on a career in law, I always felt I acted upon my feedback and that’s why I’ve always had no issue making it to the second stage of interviews, but i never make it past the second round, it seems like this is a me problem.

Even if I applied for less competitive firms, I’ve now failed 4 interviews/ACs. Am I even cut out for this.

 

[spamelinazoid]

anyone also still waiting on milbank post-first test? Are we assuming PFO now if still waiting?

 

[Morris123]

I have Jones Day AC coming up, any tips would be really appreciated!
