Gibson Dunn Interview
Well done on getting through to interview! Has Gibson Dunn referred to it as a first-round interview or is this based on the interview experience write-ups? When I interviewed, the 'first-round' HR interview you are referring to was more of an informal 15-minute chat where they ask you some...- J Wu

Applications using fsr.cvmail
Firms that use the cvMail platform will usually only allow for 4-6 work experience entries. It is not like apply4law where you can add more entries. Some firms using cvMail do provide an additional box where you can add any additional extra work experience information though.- J Wu

Technical question - bonds v equity
The key distinction between public and private companies refers to whether the shares can be traded. Private companies can still issue bonds while remaining private. For example, WeWork aborted their IPO earlier this year but had a bond issuance in 2018.- J Wu

At an open day, they stated there is an emphasis on assessing candidates' motivations for CC/commercial law as these are not asked on the application form. Additionally, both interviews are CV-blind, so you have the freedom to pitch yourself in whatever way you please. Best of luck!- J Wu

In the year I did Gibson Dunn, a friend of mine already had her offer before I had even been sent an interview invite, so I don't think there's anything to be worried about if you don't hear back for a little bit- J Wu

A few days after taking the tests, you'll receive a report with a high-level overview of your VRT performance and your strengths from the SJT. There are no set timings after that but it'll be a longer wait if you did not meet the minimum benchmark.- J Wu

In previous years, they had a question asking specifically about academic achievements, which is what Sandrou is referring to when he talks about mentioning academic achievement. I agree that they are saying not to talk about your academic achievements here. When I went to the CC open day last...- J Wu
