Funnily enough they have also sent an initial invite with a deadline of 25/1/24 at 11:45pm and then an extension to 30/1/24 at 11:45pm so perhaps their small team is very very busy at the moment and they missed some invites

I got it today as well, and it’s not automatic. So congrats 👏
I don’t know what to expect and the email was unclear. Do you have some insights about it ?

You sure it’s not automatic? I think it is cuz in the application confirmation email it says that you will be invited to do an online test. I think they look at the application and the online test together.

I received as well in the application confirmation that you will receive an invitation to an online test. However, on the 10th January, I got an email saying “You will be informed of the decision regarding your application by the end of next week. The selected candidates will be invited to a digital assessment”. Also, the invitation to VI said “Thank you for your application to Clyde & Co. We would like to invite you to the next stage of the application process – the online video assessment.”
So I think this is a second stage application.
Did you receive your test invitation ?

Two

I was about to ask the same question. Nope!

Glad it's not just me lol. Just dropped them an email to check if they received it

Ahh yeah I looked over the emails again and I think you’re right. My bad. And yeah I got the invitation.

I don’t know what to do. I applied for Gibson Dunn and the email I used has been deleted by my old university. I have messaged them twice know and no response. I am still waiting to hear from them regarding my application / what should I do? Keep
Waiting for a response is there a number I can call 🥲

Can you not log in and see the emails they have sent on AllHires?

anyone heard anything from kennedys post app?

 

[zdi2024]

Does anyone know whether the Bristows VI Questions are the same as last years? (2023)

 

[zdi2024]

I didn't do the VI last year but I did some research before undertaking the VI this year and it appears the questions are randomised. I had two competency questions.

Do you think the questions are different for everyone or every year?

 

[SS21]

Yes i got an invitation to do the online test! Note sure whether that is the next stage or if they send th test to everyone

I got a PFO. Congrats!!
Do you speak Arabic btw?

 

[RonRod13]

Does anyone know whether you get access to autocorrect during a written exercise at an assessment center?

Does anyone know whats going on w them cuz it seems like last year people heard back mid-Jan with a test invite (which I was under the impression was automatic)

 

[ikeRoss]

Anyone else feel like they bombed the Bristows VI - the 1 minute went so quick I went completely blank and you can't re do it

Does King & Spalding sponsors visas (direct TC)?
