    CMS video interview

    From what I can remember I think it went okay although I was SO nervous - I think afterwards I felt that I was able to give structured answers rather than going on a tangent, which is what I did in my first ever video interview. I ended up getting the VS offer :)

    I'm starting to think Pinsent Masons just binned the notes from my AC at this point 🤣

    Looking for any words of advice, as i'm not sure what to do. I have been offered a VS for which the deadline to accept is tomorrow. I'm also waiting for the outcome of another AC for my dream firm. The dates clash for these vacation schemes, so in the event I was offered both, I would only be...

    Does anyone know how long Pinsent Masons take to get back after the AC? I'm hesitant of accepting another vac scheme offer before hearing back as they are my top firm, however the time to accept the offer is ticking 😅

    CMS vac scheme offer!!! I was SO sure I'd flopped, given my computer completely crashed and cut 25minutes of my time during the case study... I guess this just shows not to give up 😭

    This may be a silly question but I've never done a virtual AC before... If we have to do a case study, technology-wise how does that work? 😅 As in do they put up a document and we can take notes in Word/on paper?

    CMS video interview

    Thank you so much for all the advice, I really appreciate it! I'll definitely forget the sticky notes, I can see how I might rely too much on them and completely miss actually answering the question. 😅 This is definitely helpful in relieving some stress I had about the VI, as last time I think I...

    CMS video interview

    Thank you both for the tips @OB and @Idlewild, very much appreciated! I have no idea what the time limit will be to respond to the questions, will this usually be around 2 minutes?

    CMS video interview

    Hi everyone! I received the CMS VI invite a few days ago, and I'm getting ready to do the interview. My last video interview went horribly, and I'd want to avoid repeating the same mistakes (where I completely waffled my answers). If anyone has any tips on what to expect from the VI, I would...
