Taylor Wessing Application

[Jamilaalixx]

In the process of doing Taylor Wessing's VS application and I am completely lost at the following question:

"What motivates you for a career in Law at Taylor Wessing and what key skills would you bring?"

It's standard enough and know what I would put but they've only given 1000 characters or less for this (for my other answer, this was 165 words). How am I meant to write something substantial with that word count?

On another note, how would you approach structuring this question? Doing one paragraph for why Taylor Wessing and another on skills? Or try and integrate skills seamlessly when expressing motivation?

Thanks!

Hi, I am assuming you have submitted your application by now and wanted to check is a cv/ cover letter necessary for the vc application.

Has anyone else completed the online assessment yet? I have until Friday to complete it and wondered if anyone had any tips/practice links (other than the short one already provided?) Thank you!

Have a look at the following link for a mini practice test:

https://www.testpartnership.com/free/critical/1/

Instead of only having the typical “Strong argument” or “Weak argument” as answers, they have:

• Very Strong Argument
• Strong Argument
• Fairly Strong Argument
• Fairly Weak Argument
• Weak Argument
• Very Weak Argument

Hope that helps!

Hey, thanks for this! Was this the key formatting difference than with standard WG tests?

There were a few others but nothing too different

I just completed the online test and did anyone else find it weird? Like I found it harder than the standard Watson Glaser and many of the questions were number heavy. The "fairly strong/weak" part threw me off as well. Can't say I'm particularly confident now How did everyone else find it?

Hey everyone, has anyone who applied on or near the deadline received a test invite?

No I haven’t, was wondering if they asked everyone at once tho and maybe to presume PFO. I applied the day before deadline

I applied on 8 November and received a test invite on 29 November, so wouldn’t lose hope yet as still took 3 weeks for it to come through after applying.

However, it does say they “will be in touch should you be successfully shortlisted”, so it may unfortunately be the case that it’s one of those firms where they only let you know if you’re successful and silence is a PFO.

Hi, has anyone heard back from TW after completing the online test?

Hi, has anyone who completed the TW online test heard back from the yet?

nope not yet, I think they'll be replying in jan

The ACs are between Jan and March. Is it on a first-come, first-serve basis if we receive an invite?

Honestly not sure as it appears very up in the air right now. They are rolling and the tests seem to have been carried out across November and December but not sure how ACs are distributed. I’d guess so but reckon we hear soon enough 🤞

 

[Deleted member 27336]

they give out AC's in one batch. they wait for everyone to finish the tests, and then invite/reject. not strange we haven't heard, judging by last year, people heard mid-Jan
