could you post what range of responses you got, i want to see if i can reconstruct a grading scale and if any strengths in one area were mirrored by a weakness in a different area (indicating that the questions had more of a personality test sort of approach for these questions; which is my...- bollingdale

I think, as i said above, this is for recruiters to get a sense of which areas you lean into, im not sure if its possible to get a perfect score for the traits section. I would assume they look for the weaknesses suggested by this section and then see if they are shown as strengths elsewhere.- bollingdale

I think for some of them its a bit ambiguous and there isn't a clear 'correct' answer. I get the feeling that these ones are so they get a sense of your personal key assessment qualities, like "will you show adaptability here, or resilience, or organisation, or drive and motivation' Im not...- bollingdale

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
Curious about SJT A&O feedback, what kind of things did people get, is it possible to get a perfect score in terms of the assessment qualities? I'd be curious to know what people are able to get? Below is each section with the relevant quoted section from the feedback. Also, I have...- bollingdale

These people spend a lot of money making sure their websites reflect them, my logic is go see what they want you to notice, act like a client, and dont assume something isn't worth mentioning, if its up there then there is probably a reason for it.- bollingdale

This is an opportunity to research the firm, they are selling themselves to the client, so there must be something obvious on their webpage (designed for clients) that covers this first cover what we know Handling Challenging Matters Premium Legal Services Sound Business Judgment ok so we...- bollingdale

Lol just did one of my two video recordings, had ten seconds spare and it was a little awkward, i started rambling about how i broke up the question into three parts and then it cut me off. Up to that point it was fine though :s- bollingdale

my thought is that 200 words isnt a lot of space, i would really flesh out 2 experiences, but I might be wrong- bollingdale

Was asked about checking for typos using ai Be very careful, I used chatgpt, but you can't fully rely on it, for example it changed a company name I worked at from Sandersons to Sanderson. Also SPECIFY UK ENGLISH (assuming you are english) because it will look weird if there is irregular...- bollingdale

I think you are misunderstanding me, the written section im referring to is the experiences section. For the situational section, the sjt leads into the video questions, but you can leave and reopen at anytime before the deadline (at least thats what they told me). They record you throughout the...- bollingdale
