    Hearing Back from Law Firms, Assessment Centres & Interview Tips - 2019 - 2020

    On my VS last year I was told that you don't need to present all the details but rather simply explain your point across. May be different for different firms/partners because I think a lot of it depends on the personal preference of who requested it!

    Has anyone done the CMS video interview? I got an invite on Friday but have yet to do it. I usually hate VIs so if anyone has any tips I would really appreciate them!

    HSF 2019 Applications 'Topic Question'

    Thank you, it’s hard to feel that way but I think it’s the only way to not let these rejections affect you. I applied on the deadline and got an email saying I passed the test benchmark about 6 hours after taking it. Good luck, I hope you hear soon!

    Whoop that’s a lovely 6pm on a Friday night rejection from HSF for me! First one of the cycle for me too but trying to stay positive and work on other apps! Good luck to anyone who is still waiting to hear back!

    HSF 2019 Applications 'Topic Question'

    I also got the report straight after completing the test and then got an email 6 hours later saying that I had passed the benchmark on the test and another email stating that my app was now under review! Good luck Aaron, remember no news isn't necessarily bad news :)
