hmmm I will on monday - companies usually don't take so long though... have you hear back from them?
Sadly not, but tbf I did only do the VI last week and then on Friday got the email saying they’d try lmk within 2 weeks. I took that at face value at the time but now I’m not so sure

Hi @Afraz Akhtar
When answering strength-based questions such as "how would you react to a last-minute deadline" - should i add an example?

Is anyone else confused/nervous about how long the Kirkland & Ellis assessment day is, and if that means the format of the activities has changed from previous years?
I am too
no clue what to expect but I hope they are telling the truth when they say there is nothing specific to prepare...
There isn't a cover letter. Just Cv and three questions with unlimited word count
From my experience with work outside of law, It's often to do with the way you solve problems and your brain functions. It can also be independence vs supervision etc depending on the firm. Easygoing vs traditionally professional in presentation. How much you enjoy working in a team vs solo. Rate of work. The type of language you use vs the firm (both in writing and communicating). I imagine introvert vs extrovert is part of it, but only a small part of it.
just submitted TLT phewww thought I wasnt gonna get it in before the deadline!
Hi @FutureTraineeMaybe good question! I don't think you necessarily need examples for these sort of questions, as opposed to competency questions which will specify "Tell me about a time...". However, I do think if you can manage to squeeze an example in here and there, it could bring some qualification to your answer - but only if you can find a way to do this naturally, by referencing how you've been able to build that ability. It doesn't need to be the STAR method, it can be as simple as "Having worked in a fast-paced investment firm, I've had my fair share of last-minute deadlines *cue the fake laugh*. As stressful as it may have been, I would say I've developed a mindset to deal with these sort of situations. So, in this instance I would...."
Hey @floral.tcla although its a buzz-word that gets flown around a lot, if you're a good cultural fit, it simply means that you are someone that the hiring team can see as working at the firm and someone that would be easy to get along with - which I think is always being assessed regardless. This is particularly quite important for any company, as their environment could require a specific type of candidate e.g. fast-paced/time-dedicated - and having a candidate who seems a little less organised or wants a perfect work-life balance, probably won't be seen as a good fit.
