Watson Farley & Williams Video Interview

[TACC]

I have been given a video interview with WFW and was wondering if anyone had any advice on the likely content of the questions. I have completed VIs with Dechert, Bird & Bird and CMS and would be happy to share experience with anyone who is interested. Thanks in advance!

Hey, was there a commercial awareness question? And good luck!

Good luck!!! I am sure you will do great I wanted to ask if your competency questions were generally about your motivations for law/the firm or more 'tell me a time when..'. Always hate video interviews because of the timed aspect! Any advice would be really appreciated!

Hi guys some guidance on the kind of questions that came up during the video interview would really be appreciated. I'm a non-law student and this is my first video interview. I'm so nervous!

Hi there, would you be able to post what the time limit was for answering the questions? And, if they were 'motivation' questions or 'give me an example or when...'? Thanks so much!

Hi - How long did it take for them to get back to you after the VI?

 

[OH]

Hi - How long did it take for them to get back to you after the VI?

2 days. Apologies to those on the thread who I haven't answered btw, I've received like 10+ DMs for Watson Farley alone so I've just been getting back to those instead, as others have already addressed most things here.

Hi,

Were you given 2 minutes to answer each question, or was it 1 minute?

Thank you for helping everyone out.

Hi,

Thank you for helping everyone out.

I had a 1.5 mins q and a 2 min question. By the way, I think the qs are randomised as I got a commercial q and a competency q whilst others just got competency qs.

I had a 1.5 mins q and a 2 min question. By the way, I think the qs are randomised as I got a commercial q and a competency q whilst others just got competency qs.

So pretty standard then for the times. Thank you for the help! And yeah, I gathered that the questions were randomised. Hope yours went well!
