[QUOTE="InterestInPublicLaw, post: 244739, member: 33798"] Womble Bond Dickinson PFO. How stupid is that. I applied to the firm two years in a row. In both applications they had an online test, but this year was different so thought they improved the process. I must say I often pass tests so this came again as a surprise. I also spent time attending their insight event and the early careers team said they wanted to do telephone interviews with many candidates to really get to know them instead of making people write long answer questions. But how it plays out now really disappoints people. I mean, VWV or other firms that use such short tests would at least review applications alongside the test. If, according to what the early careers team said, the initial application only served as a registration form, then why made us write all the work experience entries? Just follow what Clyde & Co, Mills & Reeve or Irwin Mitchell to create really short forms. I also wasted time researching which office to apply to and got an unhelpful reply from the early careers team. What a huge shame. [/QUOTE]
