Does anyone know how Weil typically assesses candidates on their vacation schemes (pre-2020)?

I read somewhere that they do a pitch presentation, negotiation exercise, partner interview and a written exercise but the post was from 2013 so I'm wondering if they've made any changes since then.

Last year we did the pitch presentation, negotiation exercise and the partner interview - no written exercise as we did one at the AC

I just got a reply and they said that we should hear back by the end of the month.

No after my direct TC app

I also did a direct TC app - sorry what I meant was this after a stage in the process? I’ve done a telephone interview and had a message back to say that things were on hold.

I haven’t had a telephone interview, and didn’t get a holding email! Eeek. Hopefully I will hear something soon.

Sent app end January, then did WG in Feb, telephone interview in March then had email after the telephone interview to say all on hold.

Hmm I think that was in mid February, then WG in mid March, and Telephone Interview in mid April judging by this pattern they should get back to me again in mid May hahaha

Anyone else applied to BLM? They have started sending out emails giving an update on direct TC apps, they are currently screening and everyone should get an answer in the next few weeks.
