[QUOTE="LegalLigase, post: 223547, member: 42812"] Freshfields Summer VS PFO after stage 1. Congrats to those who progressed! Would anyone who passed this stage be willing to share what strengths showed up in their assessment report? I'm trying to understand the selection criteria better. [B]My main questions are:[/B] [LIST=1] [*]Does Freshfields expect candidates to excel across all ideal competencies, or do they accept strong candidates who still have clear development areas? [*]Could this be related to rolling basis? I submitted on Nov 3, did the stage 1 online assessment on Nov 6, and received PFO today morning. [/LIST] [B]My context:[/B] [LIST] [*]Russell Group, penultimate year non-law, 70% first year [*]Got these 3 strengths: [B]Teamwork, Delivering Outcomes, and Challenging Self[/B] [*]Development areas: [B]Embracing Transformation & Thriving Under Pressure[/B] [*]Not very confident with the performance on the mini WG in the online assessment [/LIST] [B]Here's a sample of how I described one work experience:[/B] [I]• Led team of [X] media officers, assigning/reviewing content to ensure quality output across platforms, improving workflow efficiency • Delivered workshop for [Y] participants, boosting organisation visibility • Grew online reach to [Z] monthly views with [A] interactions[/I] Given this profile, does anyone have insight into what might be the main hurdle? Any advice on how to improve would be hugely appreciated. [/QUOTE]
