I noticed that some people already got Debevoise ACs (but fewer than last year based on the responses on the forum?), so I was wondering whether anyone knows whether they tend to send out AC invites in more than one batch...

On my AC offer they gave a choice of two dates (which they said would have 30 people each) but they tend to offer 100 people ACs each cycle (I attended an event not long ago where GR confirmed this), so I think they will still be sending more out!! dw :)

Hi all,

Has anyone completed the Video Interview for Vinson & Elkins for the 2021-22 cycle? If so, I would like to ask two questions.

Firstly, are you allowed to record your answer as many times as you like? (this was the case last year, unsure if this is so this year and am hesitant to commence the process prematurely.)

Secondly, how would you recommend preparing? Any insight into the nature of the questions asked and how to prepare would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Has anyone at all heard from Pinsents post test? If yes, what dates have they given you for the AC? They mentioned they would get back soon as the dates for ACs are from Monday, but I haven't heard anything.
I have looked at my portal, and it says:

'ACTIVE JOB APPLICATIONS​


  • 2022 - Vacation Placement - England

    Do I email the grad team? The ACs are on WC 7th Feb and 14th Feb, and I need to give notice at my job if that is the case. Please advise- @Jessica Booker

    Hi all,

    Does anyone have any experience with BCLP's first stage interview with a member of the Graduate Recruitment team? Can't seem to find anything online and would highly appreciate some insight into the nature of the interview and the questions asked.

    Do you think we should email grad recruitment? Don't want to push them, but there's barely anytime now
    I would just email them and ask if they can let you know as you will have to book time off work, you wont be the only one who has to give notice for a day off. you can always speak to your employer and provisionally book them off and let them know the definite date once you know. That's what I have done with mine and they completely understand and appreciate as much notice as I can give especially as my role isn't replaceable/cant be covered by anyone else when I'm not there. Integrity and honesty!
