Bird & Bird assessment centre for spring scheme! Would appreciate any tips as it is my first one 😬
I did mine on the 17th November and I still haven’t heard back yet 😔
is this for the summer vac scheme?? I'm not sure anymore why its taking them so long to respond i presume they're working through spring apps first idk
Also waiting for the spring scheme having completed my VI on the 14th of Dec. Hopefully we hear by the end of this week!
Ah well, sorry my half cooked theory doesn't make sense. Hope you hear back soon!!
I remember someone here saying they passed the next stage with an app where they had mentioned another firm's name instead of the firm they were applying to lol, so I don't think it's a huge issue!
Proofreading tip: I always paste my answer into a text to speech website and play it to myself - that way I'm much more likely to pick up on errors
Me too! This is the one I use if anyone wants it: https://www.naturalreaders.com/index.html
You can use the one on Microsoft Word but I find this one picks up on how my grammar reads much better. You can also change the voices/fonts which helps when your proofreading the same thing again and again.
I do run things through grammarly but I use it very sparingly as sometimes it gets things wrong, its good for picking up on areas where you could be more concise or have missed random apostrophes, stuff like that
Nope, just did mine and they didn't reveal WG score at the end. Not sure if you can ask for the result by emailing Grad Rec though.

Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone was able to take a break from applications and relax a little over the holidays.
Please find my first application pitfalls post of January here. I have also added it to the bottom of my main post at the top of the thread. My next update will be in two weeks as I have exams next week!
Please do reach out if you have any questions about any of the things I have raised. I hope that this is useful in advance of a busy application month
