Hi everyone,
Bit of a weird one, but in the Linklaters application when filling out university modules nothing comes up in the drop down for module names (even for common ones e.g. common law) - is anyone else having this issue? They do give the option to provide details for modules/grades etc below, but literally none of my modules are coming in the drop down. Shall i just include all module details in the extra info box that they provide for modules that arent included? Thanks!

I was the exact same, none of my modules came up so I just typed them all into the box below
Could anyone who has done the CMS video interview please shed some light on how many questions there are, how much time there is to prepare and answer, and what styles of questions are asked (competency, situational, or motivational)? I have been struggling to find any up to date info. Thanks everyone!
Hi all! Hope you are well. I recently applied to Mayer Brown and got an invite for their 'Mayer Brown Trainee Simulation' which involves 'multiple-choice, written and video interview questions based on various scenarios and tasks a Mayer Brown trainee will come across during their training contract'. I was wondering whether anybody had any advice on this or some general guidelines as to what I can expect? I've been trying to find information online but it seems this recruitment structure from Mayer Brown is fairly recent so it's hard to find good advice. Thanks!
Did the Mayer Brown tests yesterday, got the rejection today. Truly admire their efficiency this year lol!
4 questions - 60 seconds to prep and 60 to answer. You manually move onto the next question though so you can have a 5 min break in between.
For question prep, always why cms/general competency and situational (imagine you were a trainee and your colleague did xyz”

Immensely helpful. Now I can properly organise my preparation. Thanks a lot!4 questions - 60 seconds to prep and 60 to answer. You manually move onto the next question though so you can have a 5 min break in between.

I just had a look and I believe that the new trainee job simulation replaces what used to be a telephone interview. So after this stage is the AC

Although not impossible, it is highly unlikely a firm will get a visa for a vacation scheme for you. The cost and process needed would be more than the vacation scheme itself.
It is probably worthwhile contacting the firm directly via email or their social media channels to double check though.
