    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Hi guys! How are people approaching application questions regarding what you enjoy doing in your spare time?? What structure are people using? Do we link these to the firm? I'm a bit confused as to what the firm want to hear from us. Thanks :)

    I am definitely no expert but no one has replied to this thread as of yet so I thought I'd give my input :) It's a good start, you've got 3 clear points and lots of evidence to back them up. However, I would be conscious of regurgitating facts of the firm. Maybe try and show why each of the...

    I know Addleshaw Goddard use a similar system and don't ask for module grades/titles. Am I right in thinking Irwin Mitchell also didn't include space to input your A-level results? I don't remember putting these on my application, unless I've missed something :/

    When you say they screen the app, does this mean they review your answers or it goes through a system to see if you meet their academic requirements? Wasn't too sure :)

    Hi everyone, I'm not sure if anyone would know but I am just wondering what a good score is for PwC game-based assessment.

    Hey, don't worry! I had the same problem and the link to download flash player wouldn't work because it is no longer being used on devices. I know this is annoying but I had to download the app and do the VI on my phone. Problem with this is if you get a call through, your answer up to that...

    It's also my first time applying to bclp so am a bit unsure of what to expect of the test! I was just wondering on what basis the test is assessed on. For example I believe in the HSF feedback it showed that they assessed the test on things like teamwork/how well you work with others +...

    I received reasonably high for 2, very high for 1 and I also received no rating at all for 1 (working styles). Is this concerning?
