Haha I remember doing these two questions and getting confused as well! For inference section of the WG you're allowed to use some common sense/ general knowledge. So for the virtual employees question I think you can safely assume that most employees don't work virtually by using common sense. For the plastic bag question, not all plastic bags could also mean no plastic bags so the conclusion wouldn't follow.

This weeks been rough. Had 5 rejections, 4 being just after app stage 
Oh damn that is good!! I had a dream last night where we didn't receive blunt, template rejections after we spend hours/days going through the application process!
Not one of those realistic dreams then huh?
Hi, I hope everyone is well. I have upcoming video interviews with Jones Day and Slaughter and May for their summer vacation schemes and I was wondering if anyone had any advice for this stage at either of these firms.
I also have a VI coming up with Dechert, but I haven't seen them mentioned much at all on this forum, however if anybody has any advice for this firm, it would also be lovely to receive.
I hope everyone has a good day and that those that are waiting for responses receive some good news!

I interviewed at Jones Day in November and would be happy to help! Just pm me
Also, when did you hear back from Dechert?
Hi guys,
I'm still in shock but I have managed to secure a place on Linklaters Spring Vac scheme! Thank you for everyone who has made a contribution on this forum because it really did help. Now need to try and convert to a TC! Pray for me!!
Has anyone done the scheme before? If so how did you find it?

Anyone else still not heard from Sullivan & Cromwell?
I applied very early one. My application was put on 'hold'.
There appears to be one or two people further up thread who say they've been invited to interview.

Trust me, I feel sick.Woah, I had forgotten what pre interview nerves feel like
I always do too and it usually starts 15 mins before - honestly, just focus on your breathing (and remember you are as ready as you can be, don't let the nerves make you think otherwise!)
Thank you, hoping I dont vomit on camera tbh. Wouldnt be a good look....Best of luck!
Does anyone know if Ashurst only looks at TC applications if they haven't filled up their spaces through the vac schemes? I am asking as I am currently debating if I should apply to the firm's summer vac scheme or direct TC. May be worth mentioning that I received an offer for a summer vac scheme with another firm that clashes with Ashurst's vac scheme, so I would most likely have to choose should I receive an offer! Any insights are much appreciated!
Haha you'll be fine! Trust in your preparation and be yourself and you won't go far wrong
It helped me to repeatedly tell myself that the firm already sees potential in me and that I will prove them right and smash it! It's really a mindset thing! Best of luck
No success with Eversheds - just received the email now. Applied for the London office.
