    I applied last year and got a PFO after four months but this year heard back with interview invite so I’m not actually sure. They obviously get way more applications closer to the deadline so I’d imagine the wait would be longer the later you applied.

    @Jessica Booker A firm I'm applying to is asking "Have you used AI in preparing your application? If so, how? If not, why not?" I have used AI to spell check and to ask if my answer is structured and easy to read, but not for anything else. This is mainly just because I did research myself and...

    @Jessica Booker When asked in an application question "Provide an example of a time you provided exceptional client service," is it bad to talk about a job you worked in general over time. I had only one experience that could have answered that question but the form had another that the...

    This might sound like a really silly question, but if I was asked about a firm that i had never heard of in my life and didn't know anything about, what would be the best response? Would asking for more info from the interview be an absolute no-no or is it just best to admit defeat and say "I...

    Does grad recruitment tend to take in overall appearance during VI's? Like if the content of my answers are good but I stumble over my words once or twice, or have to take a second to continue?

    Yeah, GD only recruits through vac schemes. I'm just really nervous tbh, i know they test more commercial awareness and general abilities but then also some of the questions on glassdoor are stressing me out. Someone said they got asked "what makes GD different to Cleary and Linklaters?" Is...

    @Jessica Booker Is it bad to use the same experience to answer different questions if we're using it to talk about different skills from different tasks. For a recent internship, I wrote briefs for clients and also handles multilingual communication between countries. Can I use the first...
