    Also curious about that, I also read somewhere that they supposedly had a decent direct TC intake... wondering if it is worth applying!

    On that subject, I was also curious as to how the results would be used in the recruitment process. I had 2 below average and 3 average, which makes sense since English is not my first language. I wish they would take that into account… but I don't think the question was asked anywhere, so oh...

    Hey everyone! Wondering whether it is acceptable to reach out to a firm and call them for example to ask what is up with my application, in a case where I have heard nothing after submitting the form and it seems like people have already been selected/rejected post ACs etc? Is there any point...

    Something similar happened to me with CC between the regular TC and their Legal Tech TC. I emailed grad rec right away, saying I submitted the wrong draft, but obviously the deadline had passed so they could not simply allow me to withdraw my application and apply again for the right vacancy...

    Hey! Does any of you know if Reed Smith looks at the VI only when deciding for the next stage or do they also take the application form into consideration?

    Hey, I had the same experience, the vast majority was mid, a few low and 0 high. And I also feel like it was extremely inaccurate. I actually took many supervised IQ / EQ / Personality tests that were more extensive in the past years. I can safely say that they contradict most of the results I...

    I applied to London VS on the 14th of December at 11:58 pm and they invited me to VI on the 23rd, then I had 5 days to complete it. I have seen people receive invitations even before the 23rd. But if they sent you that email then it is definitely not a PFO! they are making sure that you don't...

    Hi everyone! Question for the Ashurst application form: there is a box in the work experience section "Other Experience (1000 words max)". The 4 other work experiences have only 150 words for providing details. Would you advise taking the whole 1000 words to describe experiences? could it...

    Hey, I did mine a few days ago and it did not go well lol, one minute to prepare your answer when you also have to read the scenario is tough... I would say don't prepare set responses in advance, otherwise you might get thrown off by the unexpected. Also, in the info they provide it says there...

    Just received a PFO from Simmons for their Winter Scheme, better late than never 😂 Does the sentence "I understand that this may be disappointing, however, I would like to thank you for your interest in the firm and would encourage you to apply again when applications open in October 2023."...

    Hey everyone! I need help on how to relate my answer to application questions to what I describe in the work experience section. Can I assume that the recruiter will read my answers having my experiences in mind? More concretely: I have 250 words to explain why the firm and why I would be a...

    Thank you very much for your prompt response Jessica! If I understand well, for the academic side, firms want a contact that will be able to confirm the factual details I provide? Does that mean I should provide detail of the student administration, who has access to all the records? Should I...
