@George Maxwell I'm so sorry I've only just seen this. @John Abram, if you would like to reach out to me about D&I, I'd be delighted to help. My email is [email protected]Hey @John Abram,
I am not sure I am going to be very helpful with this question honestly. But would be happy to be a sounding board. What are your thoughts so far? I know that @LauraAlturaCoaching has a lot of experience doing D&I work, so perhaps she would be a good person to help (if she has the time to reply and sees this!).
For context, what is this an application for? And where is the job?
Yeah, it's a law degree but not QLDAre you doing a law degree, it is just that it is a non QLD?
Sorry for the questions - I just think it impacts the advice given. Have you done core law modules (eg contract/tort) but are just missing some that making it a QLD or is it something like a Scottish law degree? Just trying to work out what modules you have studied and how much overlap there would be with the GDL.Yeah, it's a law degree but not QLD
Hi! How long did it take for them to reply you post telephone interview ?I have Dentons' telephone interview coming up Any tips or advice would be really appreciated
I did their vac scheme VI and i think the TC VIs are similar - they were competency and motivational questions. I'd suggest learning their core competencies that they value/look for in a trainee and keeping your motivations for why law/commercial law for the VI for sureBird & Bird VI!
If anyone has any suggestions or information about the type of questions etc I will be eternally grateful! This is usually the part of the application process that I fail miserably
Thank you so much for the information! I'll make sure to practice my competency/motivational question method.I did their vac scheme VI and i think the TC VIs are similar - they were competency and motivational questions.

I was wondering if there were any commercial awareness questions? I'm quite worried about how to answer such a question in a limited timeframe 😅
Ahh I see!
