Has anyone receive assessment day instructions from RPC after confirming their times on cvmail?

 

[Beluga]

Hi everyone!!

Has anyone done the AC for Baker McKenzie that could give me some advice? It seems like quite a lot back-to-back and I am worried

 

[lawvc2021]

I feel like this has been asked before, but has anyone heard back from Irwin Mitchell following their VI? I have been waiting for months.

Has anyone received information about Clyde & Co's AC after confirming a date? It's on doodle without an email confirmation so I'm terrified that somehow my AC date response hasn't gone through

Hi guys - bit of a long shot, but does anyone have experience of the Dechert online written exercise - and if so, do you have any tips?
Cheers in advance!

For Mayer Brown's job simulation, how many VIDEO INTERVIEW questions were there? and were there any based on comm awareness or were they just competence/why MB/why law?

 

[lawful_neutral216]

Have an AC on Thursday and cannot stop stressing about it. It will be my first ever AC, and I feel like as an international student there's a lot at stake for me. Trying to calm my nerves but I just keep on putting more pressure on myself

Anyway, I hope you all have a great week, and get good news from the firms!

Simmons PFO post-VI Good luck to everyone still in the running!

CMS AC- was expecting a PFO given I did my video interview back at the start of November. So pretty chuffed to get an assessment centre invite. Hopefully this will give some hope for those still waiting

Also just received Mishcon VI. I applied 17.11.21.
@Hele25, I have a friend who is an internal Mishcon applicant. She just completed her VI yesterday and said there are 3 competency questions. She didn't tell me the questions she answered as she thinks they'll be different for internal/external applicants.

I'm eager for any guidance too as this is my first VI

 

[John Travoni]

Has anyone heard back from Fieldfisher post online test?

Their website has an AC practise I think.

So weird they said that they would get back to us in 7 days, yet they only confirmed that they received the results 3 weeks after I completed it...

Hi all, how would I justify interests in banking and finance, I have never done any sort of work experience in this area, its just something I would like to learn about in the future, would this be justifiable to an interviewer?
