Bird & Bird PFO. Fuck 'em.
I personally think many people miss a lot of the steps you should consider with that scenario based question and that the word count should be mostly utilised.Hi, for the BCLP application, is it necessary to use all 500 words for each question? If anyone has any advice on the application in general and particularly and the situational judgment question about working as a trainee in the finance department would be really appreciated )
Thank you Jessica, this is helpful to knowI personally think many people miss a lot of the steps you should consider with that scenario based question and that the word count should be mostly utilised.
I'd try to utilise most of the time (e.g at least 3/4s of it) - quality and structure is one thing, but you do need depth in your answer too.@Jessica Booker Hi Jessica, for video interviews that impose a time limit of 2 minutes per question, are candidates required to talk for the entire 2 minutes? or would the recruitment team look for quality over quantity? Thanks so much in advance!
Thanks Jessica!I'd try to utilise most of the time (e.g at least 3/4s of it) - quality and structure is one thing, but you do need depth in your answer too.
You have to meet the benchmarks at each stage to be offered an interview. The difference between this and a non-disabled applicant is that a non-disabled applicant who meets the benchmark of each stage could still be denied an offer if there are lots of people who meet the benchmark. This is because they will have limited spaces at interview stage and/or being offered a VS/TC. They may only have space to progress the very top applicants. If you are a disabled candidate, however, they will definitely progress you if you have passed the benchmark, regardless of whether you are in the very top applicants. Hope this helps!Can someone please explain how Norton Rose Fulbright's Guaranteed Interview Scheme works? I have a disability and didn't get a VS interview a few years ago when I applied. Thanks
Hi, this is super useful to hear - didn’t realise this was a thing that some firms did! Do you happen to know if the same applies for their direct TC route?

You still have to meet their criteria to be interviewed. What that criteria is is probably unknown, but it’s likely to go beyond minimum academic criteria.Can someone please explain how Norton Rose Fulbright's Guaranteed Interview Scheme works?

I believe so.Hi, this is super useful to hear - didn’t realise this was a thing that some firms did! Do you happen to know if the same applies for their direct TC route? Thanks ☺️
They will apply it to all vacancies - it will just be what the minimum criteria is for that specific role/opportunity that will change.Hi, this is super useful to hear - didn’t realise this was a thing that some firms did!
