I almost didn't apply to one firm this year because of my experience last year. I got to a Skype interview stage and found the grad rec quite standoffish (and came across bored) in the interview. It was the first time I'd gotten to that stage, so I was already really feeling the nerves. And then...- Andrew M

I think Anya was referring to CMS (based on her original comment) not Addleshaw Goddard? AG are definitely only using telephone interviews.- Andrew M

I may be mistaken (perhaps conflated with another firm I'm waiting to hear on) but I could have sworn that I have seen people on here and TSR say that they've had VI invites for Scottish AG offices.- Andrew M

Well I have seen a couple of people from other offices (e.g. Leeds, Scotland) but I haven't seen anybody who applied to Manchester say they have been contacted yet.- Andrew M

Yes. I actually think it's my best application, which probably means that it'll be a PFO. 😆- Andrew M

I looked into this because I thought "hackathon" meant some kind of hacking competition. 😂 It's not, it's "a competitive event to develop ideas in response to a particular challenge within a short timeframe (for example, 24 or 48 hours). The real benefit of the process is getting technology...- Andrew M

AC invite for Mills and Reeve! A little emotional because this was my top choice last year and I got rejected at this partner review stage.- Andrew M

There are some useful videos floating around on youtube for how to approach answering them. Once you've got your head around how to approach the individual types (e.g. assumptions, inferences), I think the best thing to do is just go with your instincts.- Andrew M

Last year I ended up not applying. I prepared the answers in a word document but when I came to upload them (20mins before the deadline) I realised that there were another two questions on a separate page which I had not answered. Some lessons you learn the hard way!- Andrew M
