    Anyone know if the ‘preparation’ time given in VIs is recorded? Made an absolute fool of myself during the reed smith 60 second preparation and hoping that it’s not! If it is then I will know why when I am PFOd 😆😆

    Reed Smith LLP Video Interview

    I called them and was put through to out of hours office who then transferred me to Holly’s voicemail. An email will definitely suffice!

    Reed Smith LLP Video Interview

    Even so. The email states that: ‘When you're ready to begin the interview, please click the 'Start interview' button above. The deadline for completing this is three days from the date of invitation.’ there’s nothing about accepting an invitation. I’m sure it’ll be fine and it will be resolved...

    I'm confused, does 20th percentile mean that only 20% of applicants do better or are equal to you, or does it mean that you are in the bottom 20% of applicants. I see people use the two interchangeably and it has always confused me!

    Has anyone heard from White and Case? Roughly how long did it talk y’all to get a video interview after your application?

    Not by any means to say that this means you won’t get through… but a few people on here didn’t make it through to AC last year and had respect as their lowest attribute. no one knows exactly how they score the SJT though so take that with a pinch of salt!

    Yes for sure. They’ll consider our entire score not just highest and lowest attributes. How they do so and what they weigh highly remains a closely guarded secret however!

    100%, I’ve seen people in this forum get 50% on the Watson but get through to AC! Hard to know what they’re looking for in their agile mindset. No one knows!

    Out of curiosity, which attributes have people got for Linklaters CAPP this year? I got Commercial Thinking and Working with Others as my top 2. Resource and Work management as my weakest :) Scored in the 78th percentile for the WG.

    I received relatively bad first year grades (59% overall) but in second year ended with 68%. I’ve got through to interviews and always passed the initial selection process.
