Bakers VI invite!!! would greatly appreciate any advice on how to prepare, what sorts of questions come up, etc PLEASEE! so nervous and not sure how to prepare/what to expect so any tips would be appreciated
Congratulations! Did you enquire about what your WG score was that met the cut off? I am curious to know even though I understand the benchmark can change every year. Regarding video interview, I came across this thread which could be useful for you: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/baker-mckenzie-video-interview.1378/

Does anyone know if firms will invite more candidates to a virtual AC than there are places available? I got an invited over a week ago when there were two dates to choose from - the email said if nothing suited then to wait because they would release more dates in the coming days, but they haven't and now both of those dates are booked up. I've tried emailing their graduate recruitment team to no avail!

    Does anyone know if Ashurst usually take this long to get back to you? Will they send an official rejection or shall I treat the silence as a rejection?
    Hi - I'm in the same boat. Last week, I logged into the portal and next to "Application Status" it said "Inbox"; now, the word "inbox" has disappeared. What's next to the status for you?

    Also, does anyone have any insight on what this could mean?

    I’ve never had inbox on my application status, so I’m really not sure.

    Hopefully someone can shine further light on the wait…

    I saw someone post on LinkedIn that they received a TC offer from CC today. Did applications re-open since I thought interviews were held in Jan and Feb? Would appreciate if anyone has insight

    They definitely didn’t re-open as I’m sure we would’ve known about it. Most likely that they got offered a TC during the ACs that were held end of Jan and they have only just accepted it now! :)

    Can anyone give any tips for the Bakers VI? there's honestly not much info online about the types of questions and it's really daunting... especially since they're one 3, so you have a chance of screwing up your VI by 30% with every question...

    Also have never done a VI so any and all tips would amazing!

    If I am writing a cover letter to be sent as an attachment to an email, is it necessary to include the firm's address and my address on the cover letter still or is it not required? Would save me a lot of space!
