    Weil Women’s Open Day rejection, they told em to apply for VS because I had a strong application. I imagine this is something they've said to everyone?

    If you could choose a career other than law, what would you choose? - For this question, I guess everyone has different approaches but would it be unwise to use personal experience to back why certain aspects of the career chosen, appeals to you. I am a bit unsure how else you write a good...

    Hey - I'm not sure if there can be any advice or tips for this but I've realised I kinda struggle with meeting the word count on applications.

    When answering a 'why this firm' question, is it better to state the name of a different firm or just say 'open day'. So 'I attended X's Open day in which …' or 'During an open day I …' I hope that makes some sense😂

    Hey, I'm obviously not Andrei, so don't have to listen to me whatsoever! But I think I saw a similar question on the forum, and the answer was that it is highly encouraged to not use the same exact answer. Open days are way less competitive than VS, so what may have worked then may not work...

    Just done the DLA Watson Glaser and I'm probably no going to pass onto the next stage, got opportunity for development in two areas. But to bring some hope, I don't think it was a very difficult test, I just needed to practice more, so if you've really been practicing it should be fine!
