Does anyone know the C&C video interview questions pls? Thank you in advance
Please note that our policy on the forums is not to provide video interview questions on the forum.

People can talk about the general themes of the questions and also provide general advice on how to prepare, but we do not feel it is appropriate for the specific wording of questions to be provided.

Do we have all day to complete the C&C video assessment ? Or does it have to be compete by the time I received the email on Tuesday?
I'm gonna finish it in time for when I received it on tuesday - an absolute pain as I'll be squeezing it around work- but I think the system works on calendar days? rather than by hour?

Hi guys - first application cycle & got a few open days in the coming months, do these actually make a difference when it comes to VS applications?
Yes absolutely, you get an opportunity to really know the firm beyond their pr statements, you can virtually look at their body language and understand if they are saying BS. You also have an opportunity to network with them and understand their work or training and make a stronger application.

    They’re a great way of showing that you have an interest in commercial law/the firm your applying to. But they also help you understand if this is the career for you, and talking to trainees/associates/partners at the events or doing workshops really improves your practical skills if you get to an assessment centre/interview! I’ve learned a lot from my experiences and they’ve definitely helped me write better applications :D also well done on getting them because they’re super competitive!!

    I received it at 2:40 so I’ll have to complete it by then which is a pain like you said! So much to do and so unprepared :(

    Hi @Jessica Booker , for a question about 'tell us an interesting business/news story of interest', do you think an answer about the rise in 'femtech' , and lack of male investors in this space etc is appropriate? It's a story i've recently read, but i'm not sure if I should be referencing a specific company as an example to showcase figures etc.
    Sounds like a good story to me. A question like this is really looking for your analysis and opinion rather than reciting facts, but obviously you can use evidence to back up your analysis.
