Hi guys, I hope everyone is doing well! I'm new to this forum, a massive congratulations on all those who have secured ACs and interviews! I was wondering whether anybody could advise me on the S&M interview, its coming up soon and I've never done an AC before. I'd be very grateful for any tips!

Just thought I would ask, did you do the job based test and then the mobile game test? I was trying to see if they had a bench mark as only invited people to the mobile game test if they got a certain mark on the previous one.
I got invited to the mobile gam . Now am waiting on if I passed that but dont have much hop .

I’ve been invited to do the Simmons VI, any tips anyone has would be greatly appreciated!
If you search there's a thread on it somewhere, I did it recently and my tip is to have an answer for 'Tell us about yourself' that fits neatly into 30 seconds - I was cut off because I didn't realise how short 30 seconds actually is!

After a rejection from jones day and DLA Piper, I managed to get through to the VI stage of Mishcon de Reya. If anyone has any tips about the video interview, I would really appreciate it.
Hi Hana!

Congratulations! I've done it last year (still haven't heard back). It consisted of 3 questions (focused on you, no commercial awareness stuff at this stage). Can't remember if I had 60 or 90 seconds to respond but it was either of the two.

Good luck!

Heard from back Burges Salmon. Rejection! Very disheartened and thought it was a great application!

I've also just got the rejection... I put so much research and energy into this application and I honestly thought that I stood a good chance especially since I was very keen on the firm.

I kind of feel like covering myself with a blanket and crying to "All by myself" now, but alas - I am still at work. Oh well, here's to trying not to have a meltdown in a tube on my way home this evening! (Yes, I am being dramatic, but only just a little)
