    Tbh, I don't think people should be posting video interview questions here. It's not fair to people working hard to prepare and you never know if different questions will be asked to others

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Firms that are hardline on sending PFOs if you don't have AAB, rather ABB for instance, despite candidates having got a 2:1, passed the LPC and worked for a couple years baffle me

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I've a feeling wide-spread reform is needed for all recruitment I'm conscious that I shouldn't name them in the forum. But I did a Vacation Scheme with one firm back in June online. They didn't offer any TCs and promised to hold a follow-up Vacation Scheme when they could allow us to visit...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I've had the exact same as this. Wasn't given any negative or really any constructive feedback but there weren't enough TC spaces available. Frustrating? Absolutely! But it came down to a numbers game between the people invited to AC and the people they had already given offers to at the Vac...

    I've not heard a thing from DLA Piper since doing the test pretty early in the process. I also got invited to their Open Day because I submitted an app which I attended.

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Invitation from Willkie Farr & Gallagher for their video interview! Can't remember who wrote this in the forum, but do treat each step up the application process as an achievement! As horrendous as this process is, if its your genuine ambition, you'll find the courage to keep going!

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Don't worry friend, I got the rejection as well! Sad because I attended all of their graduate recruitment events around work, met them at Law Fairs and spent hours/days researching the firm and putting together the commercial awareness answer. I'm sure people will disagree, but I'm gutted and...
