Lol is this manifesting? Just been invited to an AC with Hogan Lovells! Would v much appreciate some advice or a link to any relevant threads!
Hey there, I've just received the online test invite and was wondering if you could let me know more about the format
Just checked and it’s a Watson glaser - my worst nightmare
Try jobtestprep. Its a bit pricey but some GDL friends and I chipped in together to pay for it and it come down to a few quid each that way.
It has a lot of clear guides on each section of the WG and it also has really good practice tests which explain why an answer is right or wrong that make it so much easier to understand. I haven't "failed" a WG yet and I really credit it to how well the site worked for me.
I attended their OD today. So the initial application form is not assessed and SJT is sent to everyone who meets the minimum academic criteria. Only if you pass the SJT, you will be sent the application questions (=research questions). If you pass that stage, you will be invited to a strength based interview.
Hope that helps...
Hey! Can I ask if they said how you would know if you passed the sjt? Or when they plan on progressing people? Thanks!
No, they didnt talk about the specific questions. But I assume the usual Why RS, Why law and a commercial awareness question.
Interview for Jones Day! Although for my 2nd choice scheme in spring as winter is full.
Rejection from sidley for winter, however they said my application impressed them and they are going to contact me in January if I’ve been selected to interview for spring & summer.
anyone know if this is a generic email?

I have an interview for Sidley this Friday... anyone have any tips on this?
Congratulations!!! When was your interview and how soon did you hear back from them?
No, it's not!! I know that the current outcome is disappointing but it is HUGE that your application is still being considered!!!!
Can anyone confirm the timings for the CMS VI? I've seen previously its been 60 seconds to think about the question and 60 seconds to answer, but just wanted to see if anyone could confirm this?
Hi Tanvi, I'm no expert, but I'd guess this is a chance to state the general approaches of a number of firms, including WHY you know it to be key to long-term success for a firm. Plus if you can include initiatives they are involved in/introducing/implementing, that will gain you some points.
And you really need to reflect on the non-superficial, non-box-ticking aspects of this. What does diversity mean to you? Can you see any issues that a more diverse (ie less homogenous) workplace cohort might present? What is inclusion and how is it linked to diversity? Are they actually the same thing or definitely not? What do you feel about quotas? Can you give examples of where talent that might have been missed has won through? What does it take? And why has it moved up the agenda?
Sorry, I'd imagined I would be giving you an answer rather than more questions... but that's how I'd interpret the q.
Anyone got any tips for CMS's VI? I had a VI last year(not with them) and floppped, so trying my best to do well
Also has anyone heard back from NRF post Telephone Interview?
