Hi everyone,

I just got invited to do the Video Interview for Baker McKenzie this morning!
I was wondering 2 things for anyone who has done it:

1. They had a lot of questions on their application so I already put down a lot of my competency examples. Is it okay if I repeat some of them in the VI, or will they be cross-referencing and will look down on that as me not having enough examples?
2. How many seconds do we have to prepare and then answer the questions?

Thanks a lot for the help! :)

Ah I applied on 31 December. I presume they are going through applications now?
Probably! I wouldn't worry too much. A rejection is only a rejection when it actually is a rejection! 😊 I try to remind myself of this every day as I still am waiting to hear back from several firms. Try not to overthink it as this process is stressful enough!

I totally agree! Plus with GR probably working from home and the amount of applications they will receive it’s bound to take longer! I think 5-7! Weeks is roughly my average I’ve heard back after their deadlines! (Not the date I applied) As most firms are non rolling basis.
