Thank you and I got the email last Friday!

I am sorry to hear about your PFO am sure there are other firms out there for you. If you don't mind me asking when did you get your PFO.

I don't think they allow TC apps from anyone who hasn't already done their VS. At least, that's what others have said on here.

Ah I see, thanking you!

Has anyone done Ashurst's written case study virtual interview before? How does it work? Will we be given verbal instructions or a downloadable info pack? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

omg they know my watson glaser is bad so they r giving me a few extra days to practice 😢 no wonder they havent responded

Yes, I think so. They'll review them and decide who to move on to video interviews.

For anyone doing the Addleshaw Goddard application for Summer Placement Scheme, for the qualification section, do we just put our degree and the grade we graduated with or do we need to put all the different modules? I assume it is just the degree but just wanted to check!

I just put degree and the grade graduated with. I think the only way you could put your modules would be to put them as separate qualifications which doesn't seem correct.

Did you find the form suspiciously short? Also I couldn't see where to select Spring or Summer, just a location for their Placement Scheme.

It is fine to say N to question 2 if you have put N to question 1.

I would try to put more achievements rather then individual virtual programmes into this section. It is not an issue if you haven’t got 5 examples.

Perfect thank you

Does anyone know if Taylor Wessing’s online test is automatic? The website doesn’t make it clear

i think you can decide after the ac whether you want to do spring or summer

For those that passed the DLA WG what did your feedback report say? Was every section "strength to leverage"?

W&C Winter VS VI wow this was unexpected.

 

[yasmars]

For anyone whose done the Simmons VI were the questions similar to last years?

Hi guys, how are you navigating the 'have you used AI in your application and why?' - is there a right or wrong answer here?

I passed and got “further exploration” for all.
