Hi!
I have a Browne Jacobson TI coming up and I was just wondering if anyone has any tips? I am a non-law final year student and this is my first interview with a law firm! I am really excited, but any tips would be massively appreciated!
(for context it is a 15 minute interview and they say it's to understand our commitment and motivation as well as assess a number of attributes)

When did you hear back from them?

Hi, if you don’t mind me asking, which office did you apply to and when did you hear back? Thank you! :)

A few of us got sent online assesment invites yesterday, although there may be further batches to come. I guess they are dealing with Spring VS applicants first and Summer VS (1 & 2) afterwards? I applied for all 3 because I’m indecisive. 😂​
ahh ok, got it thanks! Tbf I applied a few hours before the deadline, so probably will receive it last

@Chris Brown If you don’t mind sharing, I’m sure we would love a list of your application and interview tips & dos and don’ts that you’ve learnt this cycle. You’ve secured VSs at elite US firms in your first cycle so you of course know what you’re doing! No pressure only if you feel comfortable :)
Yeah of course! Once I get through the end of this cycle, I will post a breakdown of my applications and interviews. As it is my first cycle, I can only go based off of my experience this time around. I have a few firms left to hear back from! 🙂​
