    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    When asked in a competency interview, for example "tell me about a time you recently worked in a team", how recent does your example have to be? Could it be from a year ago? @Jessica Booker I would be grateful for your insight :)

    Last year I applied on the deadline day and wasn't invited to VI until about 6 weeks later, and then secured a VS. As hard as it is, try not to read into it too much! :)

    Also Gowling rejection (turns out popping balloons is not my strength!) but definitely learnt a lot about covid’s impact on law firms whilst researching for the question. Bird & Bird WG invite :) and invitation to BCLP’s insight event.

    I completely agree with this! I failed most tests I took last year but practising the JobTestPrep ques and going through the reasoning of each answer has helped me to pass them this year :) (I also used the reasoning behind these answers to create my 'cheat sheets')

    Hey, I had a similar issue whilst trying to download it on my Mac. To resolve this I went into security and privacy settings, then clicked general tab and then there should be something that says you asked about the file to be opened and select open anyway. Hope that helps and good luck :)

    Hi Olivia - I think that’s probably when we’ll hear back as it’s almost Christmas holidays but it could also be this week as they were quite quick to send out the test invites. So it could be either!
