DWF VI

[Jessica Booker]

Hey, has anyone done a video interview for DWF previously received extra time? I have been told I will receive extra preparation time, but I am unsure exactly how much extra preparation time they will give?

This should be dependent on the extra time you have asked for. This will be different based on the reasonable adjustments you specifically have requested. The firm can’t make that decision for you, that information needs to come from you as an applicant.

The most common request is 25% extra time, but this is because this is the most common adjustment suggested by psychologists at the point of diagnosis.

I wonder when they will get back to us after the VI and when the assessment centre is bearing in mind that the start date is 16 August.

Is 16 August when the first AC takes place?

I believe @mission impossible mentioned 16th August as the 2021 TC start date.

My VI email invite said 'Please note that your application is being considered for an August 2021 start date (16 August 2021). If you are unable to make this start date, please inform [email protected] at the earliest opportunity as we may not have any suitable vacancies for you'

I am curious how soon their AC will be, if their TC start is so soon, taking into account pre-employment checks and seat choices etc 😭

Employment checks for law firms can be fairly light touch compared to other industries. They are leaving that late though! Three weeks is not a long time, especially at this time of year when a lot of people are on holiday!

I’d imagine you guys will be fast tracked (Just a best guess). But I don’t get the bit about no suitable vacancies, as surely they’d put you into the 2023 otherwise

Ha of course, thank you for the clarification!

Hi!

What would fast tracked entail? I assume there still will be the AC and the lunch meeting. Thanks.

I just meant that I reckon your video interviews could be reviewed before everyone elses

 

[MLF]

Hi all,

Out of interest, do you have an idea as to when we can expect to hear back from them following the VI (2023 TC)? Thanks

I am wondering the same for 2021 TC. I would think this week in general?

You should be telling them what time you need based on the adjustments you require.

I think it’s usually 2 weeks after the VI deadline
